This is a good article to help you create NFS shares.

Maybe this will help you?

But in a nutshell:

1. get the samba packages installed

2. edit the samba config file (e.g. /etc/samba/smb.conf)

3. change workgroup if necessary, under [global] section

4. add directory share definitions at bottom of file (examples should be there)

5. save and exit editor, restart samba

6. add samba users, e.g.:

smbpasswd -a joeblow

Test samba locally first, e.g.:

smbclient -U joeblow -L localhost
