I think there's also a philosophical question here as well, especially with
your example. My feeling is that samba = sharing = more than one person
accessing the information = you should invest time into understanding exactly
what you're doing because you're not the only person involved any more.
So maybe it shouldn't just work, but the exercise of getting it working gives
you more of an understanding of what you're actually doing.
Now I'm sure that won't be a popular view (:
Spoken like a true sysadmin :-/
and although what you say is mostly true, we still need to make it a more
straight-forward
process that of getting access to other machines on home networks.
There must be a way of easily and securely providing that functionality to people who are not
network engineers.
