Fix for samba required in Easy 4.2.2

Ooooh, I am kicking myself...

Easy from 4.1 does not have the 'samba' package builtin, you have to install it via the package manager. But, do that, and it is broken. Alfons got it working, by modifying /etc/samba/smb.conf. But, that shouldn't be required...

Easy 4.2.2 has an entry for samba in file /usr/local/petget/hacks-postinstall.sh, line 230:

 samba-*) #20220628 easy dunfell. 20220629
  [ -f /etc/init.d/samba ] && rm -f /etc/init.d/samba #we already have rc.samba
  cp -a -f /mnt/.easy_ro/easy_sfs/etc/samba/* /etc/samba/
  chmod 755 /etc/init.d/rc.samba
 ;;

That code applies fixes to the installed samba package, however the case-statement was just "samba", whereas it should have been "samba-*". You need to edit the file and insert that text shown in red.

Do that, then install the samba package, and all should be OK. This is the correct /etc/samba/smb.conf:

[global]
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	server string = Puppy Samba Server
	security = user
	map to guest = Bad Password
	printing = cups
	printcap name = cups
	load printers = yes
	pid directory = /var/run

[puppyshare]
	path = /files
	writable = yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	guest ok = yes
	writable = no
	printable = yes'

Well, I think you should be good-to-go with samba.
