Now... I'm confused ^^

Where exactly do I find "/etc/samba/smb.conf"? I'm not even sure if this is supposed to be on the PC or on the Pi (I guess the Pi/Xbian).

I guess there is some kind of terminal in Xbian, but I'm not sure where/how to activate/find it.

And yepp, I'd like to set this up so that connecting to the Pi requires username/password.

So it'd be great if you could explain these two steps to me a bit more

you can connect to terminal with putty but you have to enable it (ssh) this will give you ssh-config

but its te same as the gui in xbmc in settings (but ssh gives you more low level acces )
also http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smbpasswd.8.html
also (/etc/samba/smb.conf) is for where the servies is running so that will be the pi as you want samba on your pi
