Samba server: Sharing files with Windows clients

[Blackburn, Marvin]

Here is my smb.conf file.
My workgroup name is the Domain name but this system is not part of the
domain
netbios name is the name of the server.  I've played with some of the
options to try to address
some entries in the messages file.

[global]
        workgroup = CORPNTP
        netbios name = grsamba
        server string = Samba Server Version %v
        interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth0
        bind interfaces only = yes
        hosts allow = 172.20.8.0/24 172.20.32.0/24 172.20.10.49
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        security = user
        load printers = no
# suggested add by Matt -- Start
;       preferred master = yes
;       wins support = yes
        os level = 65
        wins server = 172.20.8.53
;       smb ports = 139
;       name resolve order = wins bcast
# suggested add by Matt -- END
[marvin]
        comment = Marvin's work area
        path = /u00/blacma
        public = no
        browsable = yes
        writeable = yes
        printable = no

I would very much appreaciate it if you shared your smb.conf file.
Perhaps
you could paste it in here in this thread?
