Not exactly. I used to use the web interface to try and
set up samba on each install of a new fedora, but at some
point, I could no longer duplicate my working setup by
starting from scratch with the web interface. I never figured
out why, but since then, I've just been copying my old
/etc/samba/smb.conf file from one fedora to the next and
it keeps on working every time (but I only do file sharing,
no printer sharing, I use IPP from windows for network
printing). Here's my SWAT created file from 2006:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
