manual
Just edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and make a directyory as you like:
[Samba2] path = /home/UNIX_USERNAME/Samba available = yes valid users = UNIX_USERNAME read only = no browseable = yes public = no writable = yes

You probably need the sudo pdbedit -a -u $USER for this and perhaps to change /etc/nsswitch.conf for this so that it contains the line:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4
Note the wins before dns.
