“This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver
on Ubuntu 11.10 and how to configure it to share files over the SMB
protocol as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a

setup, every user has his own home directory accessible via the SMB
protocol and all users have a shared directory with read-/write
access. “
