Summary

Although there are quite a few smb.conf parameters, you need to set only the ones you want to use or the ones you explicitly want to define if you're as overly cautious as I am. For example, this is probably the simplest working smb.conf file that I can imagine. It implements a simple home directory server:

 [global]
     workgroup = MYGROUP
[homes]
     writeable = yes

How elaborate you make your smb.conf file is up to you and the needs of your network.
