The web interface is pretty nice.  As far as Web admin UIs it is
definitely one of the better ones.

I met one fairly recently, the version of Samba was antique.  That was
the major problem - and building a new version that didn't break all
their tweakage looked like a pretty scary prospect.  Windows 2003 didn't
like the old Samba.
