In that case all you really need is a well setup smb.conf file for samba.  Rob gave you some good tips there.  I would also investigate the options for force user and force group.  Also check how the usermap works so you can map everyone you don't want to have readwrite access to a guest access list.  A tool you might find useful while configuring samba is swat.  It allows administration of a samba server via a web browser.  Plus the online help in great in swat to help you properly configure samba.

Yes, that is what I am looking for. I don't want to create users for
everyone.
Right now this share is running on a renegade Linux box. I just want an
easy way for all the sales people on the WAN/VPN to get to this share
without having to be a unique user on the Samba server.

TIA again
