I just realised that System Settings no longer has the kcmsambaconf module for configuring Samba. The only trace I found of the decision was a Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691634
It seems it was removed due to lack of developer efforts, but since NFS is somehow also part of the discussion it is confusing. Personally I consider Samba configuration (in system settings) a critical part of KDE, even among the top ten modules for system settings. I have no problem editing smb.conf manually, but a large part of our potential user base does. It is also extremely unfortunate to remove functionality that works, which users have come to rely on. As far as I can see there are few bugs reported on this code after it's major revision a while back, so I find the removal rather puzzling. In any case, I would like to do whatever is necessary to get this code back in. Hence, I am grateful for any information that can help me see what is needed. There apparently was a discussion on this, is this discussion available somewhere? Maybe some of the participants in that discussion can share exactly what they see as necessary for kcmsambaconf to be included again, or maybe I have misunderstood something here? Thanks, Del
