I'm finding the online documentation for Samba to be umm... wanting. I'll
post up a little HOWTO when I get my NAS going.
Samba how-to's always have a short shelf-life, because Microsoft wants
to make it as hard as possible.
Yeah, the 'Official Samba 3 HowTo' has only been around since 2003

In getting samba to work in tough situations, I invariably wound up
spending an awful lot of time reading packet sniffer output.
I learned a lot about SMB, about networking, and about Windows, but,
in the end, it just wasn't worth the effort.
samba duplicates virtually the entire array of Windows services from
Windows 95 share modes to member server in an AD forest so it can be
daunting to set up for those that don't understand Windows on a sysadmin
level. Samba4 though still alpha level is capable of being a domain
controller in AD configuration.
Whether it's worth the effort or not is always best for everyone to
decide for themselves but the samba 'By Example' documentation is pretty
much for those that have a scenario in mind and it provides a step by
step implementation. The Official HowTo is an exhaustive reference of
how/why it works. There's something for everyone.
