Hi David,
I recommend you this: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/
This is IMHO an excellent guide made by the good folks at samba.org.
Very basically, you need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and define your
shares there. The default file is abundantly commented.
You can have your server validate the accesses using locally stored
samba/users accounts or even validate with a SMB/CIFS PDC (Winblows or
Samba).
Hope this helped a bit!
