no <space> before and after '/'.

'workgroup' you use for your system and 'workgroup' you use for your
virtual box and what you put in 'smb.conf' should all be same.

alan is your 'user' name, not 'workgroup'. this allows you to have multi
users who can be in same 'workgroup'.

see above.

this i do not recall and i do not have samba on this box to see what i used.

therefore i suggest 'man smb.conf'

also, have a look at red hat deployment guide. latest is at;
