Public bug reported:

Trying to report a bug about samba I am first asked about if:
*** How would you best describe your setup?
Auswahl:
  1: I am running a Windows File Server.
  2: I am connecting to a Windows File Server.
  A: Abbruch
Bitte wählen Sie (1/2/A):

What shall I answer? 1 - isn't right, 2 - isn't either. A? Bailing out
because it isn't thought of other possibilities??!


I choose 1, because if all answers are wrong it seems not to matter how wrong 
they are! Next question:
*** Did this used to work properly with a previous release?
Was möchten Sie tun? Ihre Möglichkeiten sind:
  Y: Yes
  N: No
  A: Abbruch
Bitte wählen Sie (Y/N/A):

Wow! I do not konw if it did work or not - simply because I did not use
it before! Fine. Just assume Yes and answer "Y"


Next question:
*** Which clients are failing to connect?
Auswahl:
  1: Windows
  2: Ubuntu
  3: Both
  4: Other
  A: Abbruch
Bitte wählen Sie (1/2/3/4/A):

I do not connect a client! So what?? Since I learned "A" isn't good
trying "4".

*** The contents of your /etc/samba/smb.conf file may help developers diagnose 
your bug more quickly. However, it may contain sensitive information.  Do you 
want to include it in your bug report?
Was möchten Sie tun? Ihre Möglichkeiten sind:
  Y: Yes
  N: No
  A: Abbruch
Bitte wählen Sie (Y/N/A):

Wow! The first question being concrete. I dislike to include this file
without changing certain parts ... so 'N'.

*** The contents of your /var/log/samba/log.smbd and /var/log/samba/log.nmbd 
may help developers diagnose your bug more quickly. However, it may contain 
sensitive information. Do you want to include it in your bug report?
Was möchten Sie tun? Ihre Möglichkeiten sind:
  Y: Yes
  N: No
  A: Abbruch
Bitte wählen Sie (Y/N/A):

Same for the logs. Again 'N'.

These questions are only helpful if there are connection problems, but
they are not if there are other problems like not working samba-tool
commands or else.
