Changing version to correct one. (test1 -> fc3test1, and some were filed as test3 accidentally instead; but clearly must be fc3test1 given the date of filing.)
Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 4 are no longer supported. If you could retest this issue on a current release or on the latest development / test version, we would appreciate that. Otherwise, this bug will be marked as CANTFIX one month from now. Thanks for your help and for your patience.
I cannot reproduce this. The program "system-config-samba" runs fine in Fedora release 8. Setting status to "CURRENTRELEASE", however if you still experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem, please feel free to provide the information requested above, and reopen the report. Thank you in advance.
