As I said, mine is a simple LAN.  Here is the current version of [global] 
section and some of the shares.  The 'domain master' line has never been in 
any of my older setups, but it was put in to cure the frequent battles to 
resolve masterships, mainly caused by family laptops that are not directly 
under my control.  

[global]

workgroup = lydgate.lan
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = borg2
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
hosts allow = 192.168.0.  127.0.
acl compatibility = winnt
wins support = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
domain logons = no
os level = 66
preferred master = yes
load printers = yes
printing = cups

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
#msdf proxy = yes

[DATA2]
path = /Data2
#read only = no
writeable = yes
public = yes

[DATA3]
path = /Data3/
#read only = no
writeable = yes
valid users = anne gillian david

The commented lines are ones that have been tried in both states, as 'read 
only' and 'writeable' seem to be preferable depending on which version of 
samba is being used. 

The security= line is no longer present (I gather from the advice I was given 
that the default is then 'user').  Home directories do not display.

I am able to mount both my home and the main data directory from fstab. using 
a credentials file.
