It's actually /etc/smb.conf

Mac OS X Hint of week:
For advanced configuration of Samba, use SWAT (Samba Web Administration 
Tool).  First you have to enable it.  To do so open a Terminal window, 
highlight and drag n drop the following commands (or type them in), one 
at a time, on your open Terminal window:
cp /etc/services ~/Desktop
cp /etc/inetd.conf ~/Desktop

Click on your desktop to refresh it.  You'll see two files appear on 
your desktop named 'services' and 'inetd.conf'.  Drag n drop 'services' 
on TextEdit to open it.  Scroll down to the 900 section and paste the 
following line in:
swat    901/tcp    #samba configuration server

Save the file on your desktop.

Do the same with 'inetd.conf' and add the following line at the bottom 
of the file:
swat stream tcp nowait.400 root  /usr/sbin/swat swat

Save that file on your desktop too.

Now drag n drop the following two commands into an open Terminal window 
again:
sudo cp ~/Desktop/services /etc/
cudo cp ~/Desktop/inetd.conf /etc/

Reboot the machine.

Open Safari and access SWAT at http://127.0.0.1:901 as root.

Enjoy.....
