Creating share on archlinux for windows clients using samba with SWAT

Hello again everyone, I have another question for you. I'm trying to set a share on my archlinux client which should be accessed by windows clients through samba, configuring that with swat. I successfully installed both samba and xinetd. I also added daemons to /etc/rc.conf. The daemons are started, and I can access SWAT web gui with

http://localhost:901

From there, I tried to add a share from the tab "shares", but without success. Honestly, I tried to understand how to do that reading some documentation, but I lack proper knowledge. May you guide me through the necessary steps? (let's assume in this case that i want to share with my windows clients the folder "/home/public", and that they must log using an arch account, named "johnny" for instance). Keep in mind that windows clients are member of a windows domain (i don't think anyway that it is relevant). Thank you again!

You should really read the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba
