I have got a bit further with this thanks to Brian
(http://www.nuonce.net/support/viewthread.php?tid=383)

Samba is now running and visible from Windows machines. The only thing
now is how to allow users created on the BQ GUI to be able to access the
shares.

I have SWAT running but even using the wizard I cannot see how to set it
up.

Any guidance gratefully received.

Thanks
