        max log size = 50
        ;disable spoolss = yes
        ;load printers = no
        ;printcap name = /dev/null
        ntlm auth = yes
        security = user
        dns proxy = no
        create mask = 0644
hosts allow = 192.168.0. 10. 127.

# Not allow home access
;[homes]
;   comment = Home Directories
;   browseable = no
;   writable = yes
;   invalid users = root smbuser


[writedir]
   comment = 203data
   path = /srv/data2/ftp/
   browseable = no
   valid users = smbuser
   writable = yes




[readdir]
   comment = 203
   path = /srv/data2/ftp/
   browseable = yes
   valid users = smbuser
   writable = no




[tmp]
   comment = Temporary file space
   browseable = no
   path = /srv/data1/tmp


   valid users = smbuser


   ;access as the default guest user
   ;If this parameter is yes for a service, then no password is required to connect to the service
   ;guest ok = yes


   ;If this parameter is yes for a service, 
   ;then only guest connections to the service are permitted. 
   ;This parameter will have no effect if guest ok is not set for the service. 
   ;guest only = yes

# for samba
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 139 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 445 -j ACCEPT

That's all!
