Are your clients Windows or Unix (Linux, Mac, etc)? If so, what about
using NFS instead of Samba?

Anyone have a simple TID/HowTo to set up a SAMBA a secure SAMBA service to be used by only one subnet on a network. For example only on 192.168.1,X (wired network) but not 192.168.10.X (WiFi)
1) Install Ubuntu 12.04 Server
2) Install Basic Gnome Desktop (sorry I am not as experienced with command line)
3) Create two accounts FileRead FileWrite
4) apt-get install samba
Now this is where someone with experience comes in.
5) Create a share directory (I would say /home/samba)
6) Directory Rights? (chmod)
7) Edit samba.cfg file
a. Workgroup - SAMBA
b. Share /home/samba
i. FileRead - Read only
ii. FileWrite - Read/Write
8) Set up the IPTables
a. Block all ports all networks
b. Open SAMBA ports on 192.168.1.X
Have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba by
chance? I usually find the Ubuntu wiki to be a good source of
information. I've used the server guide in the past and it has worked
well.
