Everyone:
I completed my installation of solid-state drives and, of course, a new installation of F27.
And now: what happened to my system configuration tools? How do I start and stop services?
My biggest problem is Samba. I can't see any Windows computers on my network, and they can't see me. (I can, however, see a network printer. That, I configured in the System Settings app.)

There's a systemd gnome shell extension that you could use but personally I really like cockpit, both of which you can find in gnome-software.
Cockpit is web based so you just point your browser to localhost:9090 and use your normal login.
Thanks, Richard

What is the KDE equivalent? I don't like to mix KDE and Gnome if I can avoid it.

No longer available. Search of Fedora Packages returns no results, and "dnf install systemctl-ui" returns "Error: unable to find a match."
By now I have all the usual Fedora repos enabled, plus the RPM fusion repos (free and nonfree).

Just tried to install cockpit. DNF installed everything but cockpit-ws.
I tried to install that separately and I got this output:

It is hopeless. Someone always "improves" things till they are useless. Learn the command line tools, they don't change out from under you as much.

Permissions are 644. To what should I set them instead?

That's correct... Have you examined the contents? Or just try running dnf again... It shouldn't matter but are you running dnf as root or using sudo?

Ran dnf as sudo. But I tried using "su" and it still ran into the same error--being unable to open the "group" file.
Should I edit that file myself to add the group the scriptlet wants?

No, there's an underlying reason this is failing and your don't want to mask it. If you open the file does anything stick out?

One thing only. The last two lines have a "*" instead of an "x" between the group name and the group id. So instead of:
gamester:x:1001
I see
gamester:*:1001
What's that for?
I used KUser to create those last two groups.
