[ubuntu-uk] Samba Shares

[pmgazz]

I couldn't get the tool to work either, I haven't experimented with 
Meercat yet, I installed 4 on a Lucid installation - finally, I copied 
over my old manually-typed smb.conf and it sorta worked OK ;)  Gotta 
say, my brush with it inspired me with trepidation but I'm sure it'll 
get sorted out anon.

I found FreeNAS annoying - I don't know FreeBSD and so I could get an 
Ubuntu file server set up in a fraction of the time - and it's 
relatively hellish getting it running properly on motley hardware too.
