I highly recommend you follow the swat + xinietd mini-howto and use swat to set things up. However, your basic, run of the mill conf is posted below for your convience.

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = HOSTNAME
server string = Fileserver
encrypt passwords = Yes
wins support = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/24 (if you only want access from your subnet)

[share]
path = /location/to/share
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

read only = yes
guest only = yes
admin users = your user

dont forget to set your users in "smbusers"
for example

root = administrator
nobody = gast

Then set a smbpassword for your guest account (nobody)
smbpasswd -a gast

i post a complete config in about an hour
