Fedora 13 Samba Standalone Server With tdbsam Backend This tutorial explains the installation of a Samba fileserver on Fedora 13 and how to configure it to share files over the SMB protocol as well as how to add users. Samba is configured as a standalone server, not as a domain controller. In the resulting setup, every user has his own home directory accessible via the SMB protocol and all users have a shared directory with read-/write access.

Great article. Works perfectly. One thing I found the linux "path=/xxx"  has to writeable by the users group to make the share writeable.

The title of your article suggests that it will explain how to use tdbsam but then the instructions refer to smbpasswd. This has got me confused as my smb.conf file says that new installations should use tdbsam. Can you clarify the difference please. Thanks :-)
