           Summary: Unable to add Samba users
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: 32bit
        OS/Version: SuSE Linux 10.1
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


This bug has a long story:
- I observed it since Suse Linux 10.0
- I reported it since Suse Linux 10.1
- Nothing was ever done, to improve the matter

And this is, what I mean:
- No way is provided, to enter Samba users via a graphical interface:
    Yast does not provide any means to do it
    The second way, via Personal Settings -> Samba -> users, does not work
- Of course, one can add users via smbpasswd -a ..., but I think, that Linux
should become an alternative to buying MS's Vista. Therefore, Linux should
absolutely try to simplify the installation procedures for small networks, as
they become more and more common use. As per now, it is still very complex,
installing such small networks. Another problem for instance, I'm trying to
solve, is to make my hp officejet d125xi available to other network users -
with no success up to now. Most users I know, even IT personal, just revert to
a window solution, and leave Linux behind them - maybe for ever. This is really
to bad!
