For all you GUI-phobes out there: I have a Major Mode for Emacs for editing smb.conf in early stages of development; http://users.gtn.net/fraserm/smbmode.html I have many ideas but few implemented yet, but please download and try it. All suggestions, comments welcome, especially stuff to add to the Todo list. Even better, implement things and take them off the Todo list. :-) You will need a working knowledge of Samba configuration at the moment, but I guess the ultimate aim should be to make configuration a breeze... for Emacs veterans, anyway.
