Samba - Creating shares
So I have Samba installed on my server and I have to create two shares.

Make a backup of your smb.conf - call it smb.conf.orig. Create a share called
shared that allows read and write permissions for everyone and points to
/media/shared.
Create another share called www that points to the apache web root - /var/www.
Give it read and write permissions.

How can I go about doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

What O/S are you using ? Most versions of Linux come with a gui which I believe could provide this configuration.
