-; The global setting for a default install
-;======================= Global Settings =====================================
+# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
+# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
+# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
+# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
+#
+# For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
+# read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
+# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
+#
+# Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
+# Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
+# http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
+#
+# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
+# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
+# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
+# may wish to enable
+#
+# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
+# to check that you have not made any basic syntactic errors.
