Talk:Setting up a Samba Server

Without commenting on the validity of the observation, I'm rescuing the following paragraph from deletion and moving it here to Talk. It is truly not appropriate to the article, but there should be no impression of 'suppression' or 'covering up'. I think the current article addresses the complicated nature of the issue.

It's my impression Linux community from time-to-time suppresses inability of Samba server to, for instance, serve in a network including, say, XP machines, at least for the first few years after XP appeared -- which after all wouldn't be surprising. If such limitations exist -- in Samba server, or anywhere -- I sincerely hope linuxquestions.org won't just cover up. If that happens, it'll be useless. --sincerely, jgo.

You explain a great deal here, like what the global session in the smb.conf is for. But you do not explain how to actually accomplish something. You do not give a goal like "you want to share your folder /public" and you do not advice how to reach this goal. I would do it the other way round: Postpone the explanation of the sections of smb.conf and start telling the reader how to share his folders. --ThorstenStaerk 14:19, March 23, 2009 (UTC)
