With the newer versions of Ubuntu (8.10 and I believe 8.04 for sure), you don’t need to directly modify the samba configuration file (smb.conf) quite as much as before. It’s still nice however to know where it’s at just in case.
It’s also good to note that when you use the GUI to create a share, these settings are stored in a different location than the smb.conf file. Here are the locations of these files.
Location: /etc/samba/smb.conf
Quick command to edit it: sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
Location: /var/lib/samba/usershares/SHARENAME
Quick command to edit it: sudo gedit /var/lib/samba/usershares/SHARENAME
Eg. sudo gedit /var/lib/samba/usershares/music
