“For those new to Samba, the configuration of this provider of
seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients can sometimes
be a nightmare. Not only are you dealing with tricky configuration
files, you also have to worry about getting users added to
encrypted password files. Of course if you want to tackle this the
old-school way you can take a read of my article “Set up your new
Ubuntu server as a Samba server”. But for those that prefer to do
things the GUI way, there are plenty of tools available for you as
well.“One such tool is the gadmin-samba tool from the Gadmintools
suite of GUI Linux administration tools. The Gadmintools suite
allows you to easily setup Samba with the help of a well
thought-out graphical interface. With this tool you should be able
to have Samba up and running in no time. Of course, there is a bit
of installation to tackle at first, but even that is simple. So,
without further adieu, let’s get to work.”
