I think you may need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf. Here is a working
configuration that I have on my box. It allows read-only access for any
user:
[global]
wins support = yes
workgroup = HOME
security = share
[share_name]
path = /path/to/share
read only = yes
guest only = yes
browseable = yes
Just change share_name to whatever you would like to call the shared
directory and change the path to the directory you would like to access.
Don't forget to restart the SAMBA daemons after you have edited the file.
/etc/init.d/samba restart
