Bug Description

I have just installed Ubuntu Hardy from scratch. I've been using Ubuntu for years with auto-update, so this is my first fresh install for a while. I found it very difficult to find how to set up Windows Workgroup, I have spent 2 hours searching Ubuntu help anf Google. The Hardy docs (file:///usr/share/gnome/help/shares-admin/C/shares-admin.xml#tool-getting-started) say "System menu

    Choose Administration ▸ Shared Folders." However even after installign the samba package it's not there. shares-admin from the command-line does work. This is exactly the sort of thing that puts new users off, and file sharing is a very common non-technical user requirement.

Cheers, al.
