How about picking up one of the fine books listed below at amazon.com? 
I have found such books to be a great source of information on how to
setup and use various applications.  And most of these will have the
kind of info you are looking for.  Of course it does mean you need to
crack the books and read them.

Samba-3 by Example: Practical Exercises to Successful Deployment

The Official Samba-3  HOWTO and Reference Guide
	I have this one and it has some excellent examples for many different
configurations.
