Did this via the ssh interface, seems to have worked OK:

root at OpenWrt:~# opkg install samba3 luci-app-samba

I'm not sure what to do/change at this step.  What do I change in the
samba (or samba.conf) file?

root at OpenWrt:~# cat /etc/config/samba

config samba
        option 'name'                   'openwrt'
        option 'workgroup'              'openwrt'
        option 'description'    'openwrt'
        option 'homes'                  '1'

config sambashare
        option 'name'                   'tmp'
        option 'path'                   '/tmp'
        option 'read_only'              'no'
        option 'guest_ok'               'no'
        option 'create_mask'    '0700'
        option 'dir_mask'               '0700'
        #option 'users'                 'abc'

My Windows workgroup is called "workgroup"

Thanks - Jim
