Edit /etc/smb.conf and add something like the following:
I tried setting the custom samba share name in server admin, but it deletes the config file from /var/samba/shares, so I made a regular share of the folder, copied the info from /var/samba/shares, pasted it to /etc/smb.conf with a new name, then unshared from server admin. Appears to work fine (for now...)
