Make sure to read the man page for smb.conf. Basically all I did was add the following lines to my rc.local : /usr/local/samba/bin/nmbd -D -l/var/log /usr/local/samba/bin/smbd -D -l/var/log -s/usr/local/etc/smb.conf I don't know if there's any security risks running it this way...but it's only connected to my Win95 machine so security isn't a problem for me. I'm sharing my ftp directory using samba and my smb.conf looks like this: [global] comment = FreeBSD - Samba %v log file = /var/log/samba.log dont descend = /dev,/proc,/root,/stand printing = bsd printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes map archive = no status = yes public = yes read only = no preserve caes = yes strip dot = yes security = share guest ok = yes [ftp] path = /usr2/ftp comment = ftp read only = no That's all there is to it....
