Paul,

I've tested installing Samba by installing it at the end of a clean
install from scratch. I have convinced myself that the Set Samba dialog
with Samba running and a new password in the field does NOT create a
Samba user. Invoking the command "sudo pdbedit -L" returns nothing, and
looking for the password database manually fails as well.

Following up with "sudo smbpasswd -a tc", and then following up with
pdbedit -L shows a user has been created and the Samba Share then works.
This is a very minor thing but frustrating for a new user. Thanks for
considering looking into this for a fix or next release.
