please fix this, since it keeps poping up in training (GLS). Users like to use the system config tools. I suspect this shouldn't be too hard to fix.

this bug still hasn't been fixed in the last Redhat EE version making it not usable as a windows file server?
Any status on this bug?!! It has been SO LONG! This is an essential feature, and causing a lot of headache. I am sure some people and new prospects are using Windows OS just because of this bug. It is disappointing that this has not been taken care of yet.
A fixed package for this bug will be part of the upcoming 5.3 update. There's been a lot going on in the background about this bug which is not publicly visible, e.g. the backport of the fix from the versions in Fedora, QA/testing and the like. The bug will be updated again when packages containing the fixes are available via RHN to customers. As a customer, you can of course get assistance directly from Red Hat Support.
