pressing the "status" button I saw that smbd, nmbd& winbindd were not

I think home directories are shared by default, you can access them as \\yourlinuxbox\username.When I go to Samba, pressing the "share" button, I see there is "create share" and choose "share" but nothing changes - and I see no directories to select to share. How do I progress from here?
If you want to share additional directories, just enter name of the new share and press "create share". Then you will be able to choose directory and set other options.
