Indeed shares-admin has been removed from menu and right click menu (but it 
still here for compatibility: Alt+F2->shares-admin).
For Hardy, decision have been taken by ubuntu team to not use shares-amin 
(bugued/not maintained upstream/security problem…), now nautilus-share is the 
default tool to use.

We can not set yet the workgroup name : Bug #214720

"You say that sharing was present in the final release but I cannot see
any place that lets me choose windows share or NFS share choice when
sharing nor do I see where to set my own workgroup name." -> shares-
admin is hidden, now nautilus-share is the default tool.

How to share a folder :
right click -> share
On first use, nautilus-share ask to install share services, accept this (samba 
and libpam-smbpass are installed).
Due to Bug #212098 you must logout/login (or reboot) to ensure that you are on 
sambashare group and that your samba password is synced with your user password.
After reboot, you can now login and right click->share and use the tool.

If you create a new user, make sure that you put it on sambashare group.

BEWARE that :
you can not share a folder naming it with your user name (samba restrictions)
you can not share ntfs/vfat partitions, or just folders that your are not the 
owner (security restriction)
