Yes, I agree this could be a big pain, but I can offer a suggestion: try webmin download it from http://www.webmin.com/ the deb package, then install it you will also find that on their website they have a plugin sort-of thing for samba that makes creating user accounts, passwords and modifying things much easier.
This is where you find the plugin: http://www.webmin.com/standard.html Then just download and install it ** Changed in: kdenetwork (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: kdenetwork (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Vikram (dhillon-v10) -- Samba is still a pain in kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
