If you dont want Windows to access samba share you could use NFS....

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf, set up "security=user" and "passdb backend = tdbsam" (both default), and add a [html] section as shown below.

[global]
        workgroup = MSHOME
        server string = Samba Server Version %v
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 50
        security = user
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        load printers = yes
        cups options = raw
        mangled names = no
[homes]
        comment = Home Directories
        browseable = no
        writable = yes
[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        browseable = no
        guest ok = no
        writable = no
        printable = yes
[html]
   comment = HTML
   path = /var/www/html
   public = yes
   writable = yes
   printable = no
   create mask = 0775 
   read only = no

Add user/password via "smbpasswd"

# smbpasswd -a andreasoc  <=== andreasoc must be a Linux userid
New SMB password: xxxxxx <=== may be different from Linux password
Retype new SMB password: xxxxxx
Added user andreasoc.

If samba client to be able to update, setup permission for /var/www/html

# chown -R andreasoc /var/www/html
or
# chmod -R 777 /var/www/html

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network to define hostname (eg soc used below) or via "# system-config-network"

HOSTNAME=soc.domain.com

Restart network if using network service (NetworkManager should pickup change automatically.)

Enable smb and nmb service

# /sbin/chkconfig smb on
# /sbin/chkconfig nmb on

Start smb and nmb service

# /sbin/service smb start
# /sbin/service nmb start

Accept samba ports in firewall.

# system-config-firewall
Click "Trusted Services" and "check" Samba 137/udp, 138/udp, 139/tcp, 445/tcp
Apply and Reload

Check that firewall is opened.

# nmap -p 445 localhost

To access share from Windows, type "\\soc\html" in windows file explorer, and enter userid/passwd setup via smbpasswd. To mount share, use "Tools->Map Network Drive..." select "H" for drive and enter "\\soc\html" in "Folder".
