samba - Oct 2018 - Samba server fails to save settings

Hi Rowland,

Thanks for your help, I have been suspecting Suse's Yast too!

Is there a samba configuration GUI tool I can use to launch it independent of
Yast? This would help to chase yet another problem!

Kind regards,

Aref

That isn't your problem. You said you used Yast to modify smb.conf, but
your changes didn't get into smb.conf. This can only be a Yast problem,
it is this tool that is trying to change smb.conf.

I suggest you go and ask OpenSuse about Yast.

Samba no longer supplies any GUI tools.
It might help if you tell us what your actual problem is.

I just want to create some directory shares so that I can access them through my
MS windows 7 PC.

I have done this many time in the past using earlier versions of OpenSuse using
Gnome, this time it is KDE.

Many thanks,
Aref
