shared folder problems

[Chris Neary]

Or indeed that GUI, if it's as good as or better than the Gnome one. Didn't
intend to cause a 'my environment is better than your environment'
conversation, it's just that Gnome is the Ubuntu default. I'm sure if XFCE
has a 'shares-admin'-a-like GUI, then that's perfectly usable too.

Actually, editing the file by hand would be worse anyway because I think you
have to restart Samba to get it to see the new configuration. Using the GUI,
IIRC, shares were made available straight away. IANA Memory King, but I
think I have that right.
