file sharing

[marc.mcswain at academy.com]

While I think that this is a bit, ok, way off topic, this thread seems to 
be the kind of thing that I hear all too often.  People in a Micro$oft 
world are used to the software doing everything for them.  I choose to use 
Linux because it does not try and do everything for me.  This way I can 
choose the way things are setup, and what security risks that I am willing 
to deal with.  FC1 will attach to Windows Shares with no problems, and 
Samba will use Micro$oft AD for Security, we use it every day.  Does it 
take some configuration, yes.  Is that too much to ask of an admin, no.

OK, I will get off my soapbox now.

RE: file sharing






This is just my point, though; why all this hacking to get this working? 
The
experts in the community (or RedHat) could set it up right to start with.
Customer / Client supplies data needed (NT domain name and credentials) 
then
voila! 

You know, the more you do FOR the user the more the user LIKES you. And it
is within the scope of Fedora to make a great desktop product eventually,
right?

I am relaying FEEDBACK to this list. From several people; current IT 
people
(MS based as most are) and end users, and managers... Learning is 
expensive.
I was hoping that Fedora as a project would appreciate feedback from
non-Linux admins.

Stephan
