Hi,

I haven't tried using Samba in Feisty, is Samba works now without
running smbpasswd for certain users? can Windows easily connect to a
Samba share? And does printer sharing "just works" in Feisty?

I really need to know if Samba will fit right, or we're going to use
FTP. It would be used in over 300+ campuses.

I'm using samba in feisty, you will still need to run smbpasswd, but
that's a piece of cake. My one is sharing a printer also, under
[printers] I only had to change one thing; and it was to add this line:

use client driver = yes

So it pretty much works out of the box ;)


I'm asking this because Samba in Edgy doesn't work well as it should be in
the
people who use it. Due to disappointments we receive from the admins who set
it up, we're looking for alternatives, currently FTP and Multicast
Filesharing is what we have.



Have a look here:

and
http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#Samba_Web_Administration_Tool_.28SWAT.29

Perhaps you they are just setting it up incorrectly?
