A feature request for Ubuntu 7.1

A nice front-end for Samba/CIFS included in the default install. I really don’t like having to alter a config file, and I’m pretty sure that’s a lot of people feel this way. This front-end could, for instance, manage Samba users, SMB/CIFS shares, configuration options, mountable network shares: the whole nine yards. It would be nice. I don’t really like having to open a shell and type in commands; I know, power user, whatever.

For me, a GUI is better. It is. It’s quicker, it’s easier to understand, it’s all in one place instead of two different places and three different commands, and it allows those who enjoy CLI work to continue using their computers the way they want.
