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.

Arghhh - while it's entirely possible that this might resolve the issue, that's
possibly the WORST thing you can do to resolve a permissions based issue!
Please don't ever suggest chmod-ing full permissions to everyone - it's a fix
that is likely to come back and bite at a later date!
I have played around on a test VM to see if I can get this working,
It looks like if I use the Sysconfig-Samba tool (VERY basic) as the
FIRST point of contact/setup then things do go better although I am
still not getting it all 100% working...
I am now leaning to FreeNAS as a solution instead of struggling with
Samba, I guess FreeNAS is also making use of Samba but hey they handle
all the stuff in the back ground. I will keep you up to date to let
you know what solution finally worked for me and if I can find any
specifics on why MY Samba setup does not work.
Thanx
