Hi,
Probably a silly question but ... how do you configure Samba?
Looking in /etc/samba/smb.conf I see big scary letters telling me "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE". Yet that's exactly what the internet (and this forum) seem to be suggesting.

Also, why is there much less in my smb.conf file than general internet configuration results suggests there should be?
Thanks

Thats because the XBian Samba setup does not have any shares configured yet.
You need to add your own like in below example:

Oops, sorry, some shares are active already.
Have a look at:
"/etc/samba/shares.conf"

Thanks. I had tried to look in there before but saw nothing. I think I looked in share.conf in hindsight and nano doesn't make it obvious that the file doesn't exist.
Thanks
