Pretty much the Howto at the Samba site, specifically the Quick start:
http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/FastStart.html#id2509193
under the heading "Secure Read-Write File and Print Server"

My eventual smb.conf wound up looking like this:
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = (obfuscated)
        server string = Samba Server
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        dns proxy = No
        ldap ssl = no
        idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
        idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
        hosts allow = 192.168.0.
 
[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        read only = No
 
[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No

A lot of default settings in there.  Since this seems to take so long to
announce after a restart, there's no guarantee that this is correct. 
Especially since I've just started testing this thing.
