It's pretty much the stock config file. Here it is, with comments
removed and white space squeezed:

        [global]
   workgroup = mshome
   server string = Sam's PC
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd
        max log size = 1000
   syslog = 0
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
   security = share
   encrypt passwords = true
   obey pam restrictions = no
   invalid users = root  
   guest account = nobody
        pam password change = yes
   socket options = TCP_NODELAY

        [data]
        path = /home/sam/Data
        guest ok = yes
        read only = yes
        
        [fonts]
        path = /home/sam/.fonts
        guest ok = yes
        read only = yes
