Yes, that seems to be the way to go. I'm almost there (having figured
out that I needed to open a hole in the host firewall), just having a
problem getting the guest to authenticate. I don't understand CIFS
passwords :-(

First you will need a local account on for this I usually create a user
without any shell access
$ sudo useradd -s /sbin/nologin smbuser
Then you will have to create the samba user
$ sudo smbpasswd -a smbuser
start both samba services:
$ sudo systemctl start smb; sudo systemctl start nmb
Open up the firewall ports
$ sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=samba
$ sudo firewall-cmd --reload
A very basic mount of the samba share
$ sudo mount -t cifs -o username=smbuser,password=yoursmbpassword
//192.168.124.1/smbshare /mnt/smbshare
You can also use auto mount to achieve this or fstab; you can also use
a credential file and only give root read only access.
if you are sharing your home directory don't forget to enable the
SELinux boolean
$ sudo setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1
Let me know if this helps
