SAMBA is a configuration nightmare as a brief trip to
alt.os.linux.ubuntu or the ubuntu forums will prove.
Yes, when it's working it works well. But boy does it need an overhaul

Now I know someone out there is going to claim, "Well then, UNIX is intuitive,
because you only need to learn 5000 commands, and then everything else follows
