1. Go through the usual setup at Samba.org or use YUM (yum install -y samba)
2. By default, the smb.conf allows sharing of home directories.
3. Add a Samba user (smbpasswd -a myusername)
4. On Fedora, run SELinux Administration
5. On the left menu, click “Boolean”.
6. Scroll down to “samba”, and check the box next to “Allow samba to share users home directories”.
7. Also on Fedora, make sure your Firewall allows the Samba ports 139 and 445.
8. On Windows Vista, now map the network drive.

Sample smb.conf:

[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        writable = yes
;       valid users = %S
;       valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S
