Hi,

For GUI choice I recommend using either webmin (v.1.150 is on the MDK 10
CDs), or SWAT (Samba Web Admin Tool) also on the MDK 10 CDs.  webmin is
accessed via https://localhost:10000 in your browser, and SWAT is
accessed by http://localhost:901  Obviously you'll get an error if you
haven't installed them yet :)

Both are easy to use and (as I am also an ex Windows user - oh that
sounds NICE ;)) pretty intuitive.

Kind regards,

Julian
