I've been messing with the samba server settings on my FC5T3 box and I've found that if I have a highly-customized or missing smb.conf, the GUI Samba configuration tool will fail to open (for a highly-customized smb.conf) or crash upon adding a share (for a non-existant smb.conf). I think that a more reasonable behavior would be to have it prompt the user to overwrite, then if the user agrees, copy over /usr/share/system-config-samba/smb.conf.template to /etc/samba/smb.conf, and then act normally. Also, I've found that even a little customization is lost if I make any changes at all using the configuration tool. Shouldn't the user be prompted before overwriting his/her hand-made changes?

	What do you all think?
Not overwrite, but backup! Probably better to not try to mess with it (think about a companies domain server with thousands of users - you wouldn't want this nuked!), and provide a button to display in gedit for the user to fix (assume s/he unfixed it).

Anyway, some earlier issues found / fixed wi sy-co-sa:
