To me it is a problem.
NFS works without password. I don't want passwords. I am not sharing this stuff on the Internet but on private network of personally owned computers. Windows 7 Pro does not have the ability to do NFS. I want to share my files to a WIndows 7 computer. I have to use SAMBA. I can't make it share files.
I am not finding getting information on what to do easy or executing the actually doing things that allows me to share my files to that Windows 7 machine easy. Nothing has worked so far I keep getting prompted for a password that does not exist. In /etc/samba/smb.conf it say a commented file exist in /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf I am looking there now and I see no place to turn off username/ password. In YAST configuration for SAMBA I see no place to turn off username / password. In SWAT I see no place to turn off username / password. Even on the local machine if I try and browse SMB I am prompted for a username / password. So far nothing has worked. All I have gotten frustrated and was ridiculed in a IRC channel because I can't make it work.
Like I said I checked the Wiki and the articles and openSUSE.org and didn't see anything relevant. You shouldn't need a book to make it work.You shouldn't need to be an IT pro or even an advanced hobbyist. Stuff should 'just work' as much as possible.
Never heard of google, eh? First result: http://amazingrando.wordpress.com/2007/06/03/share-folders-via-samba-without...
