Mention the share name and properties /etc/samba/smb.conf and restart
smb service. 

Then u need to create a samba user using useradd command and add it into
the samba database by using smbpasswd -a <user name>

Then if you try to access the same from windows/linux, it will ask for
the username and password of samba share. Let me know if you face any
difficulty in setting up samba in linux

Thanks,
Krishnaprasad

You can use "mount -t cifs ..." for windows/samba shares on linux.
