Public bug reported:
As of 8.04 with the new samba file sharing front end 'nautilus-share'
there is no way to configure basic samba settings such as the computers
network name or workgroup.
There is also no way to get a list of all shared folders on your
computer if you want to remove or change permissions on them. This used
to be accessible from the "system/administration/shared folders" menu
option. Now the removal of shared folders requires locating each folder
in the file system and using the right click menu or properties dialog
to amend sharing settings.
I was not even able to use the "system-config-samba" package to manage
shares as it seems to read /etc/samba/smb.conf for share definitions
while 'nautilus-share' dumps them in /var/lib/samba/usershares in a
different format altogether.
There needs to be a simple way to centrally manage all shared folders
and also change basic samba settings without editing smb.conf.
