How to share folders in ubuntu with samba

1. Install samba with apt-get.
2. Edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
   [global]
    netbios name = ALEXRAIT
    workgroup = MSHOME
    announce version = 5.0
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPLIVE SO_RCVBUF=819 SO_SNDBUF=8192
    
    passdb backend = tdbsam
    security = user
    null passwords = true
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
    name resolve order = hosts wins bcast
    
    wins support = yes
    
    printing = CUPS
    printcap name = CUPS
   
    syslog = 1
    syslog only = yes
   
   
   [E]
   path = /media/hda5
   available = yes
   browsable = yes
   public = yes
   writable = no
3. As a result we share the folder specified under "E". "E" Is the name of the shared folder that appears if we access the computer from other LAN station. You can add more of these folders or use a Configuration GUI that comes with ubuntu (Look at the System menu).
4. Now we must add a user that will have the permission for browsing our folders. Do it like this:  smbpasswd -L -a alexrait
5. Enter a non-empty password.
6. That is it
