cannot configure Samba with KDE Control Module

[A. Tombol]

When I go in the Samba section in System Settings, almost all the option are greyed out, and mouse tooltip says "The option **** is not supported by your Samba version"
Maybe it's a dependency issue, I don't know, I haven't found anything related in forums or bugs.

Actually, once you try to access the samba module kdesudo should come up asking you for your password to launch the module as root. The behavior you describe sounds like it was launching the module as user however.

Please provide more information about your system. Clean 8.10 install or upgraded? Did you do anything to kdesudo?

[A. Tombol (atombol)]

sorry, i can't test that system any more, reverted to a gnome ubuntu install
but I tried it now with a live usb on another machine, clean kubuntu 8.10 beta, installed only samba, kdenetwork-filesharing and dependencies, and the symptoms are the same

Where exactly is this "Samba section"?

[tgoshinski (tgoshinski)]

I am having the same issue. Kdesudo did pop up, but I am still getting the described behavior.

I believe the "Samba Section" the OP referred to was:
    System Settings > Advanced > System > Samba

I am running 8.10 upgraded from 8.04. I have done nothing to kdesudo that I am aware of.

The bug is caused in another bug in the Samba package (http://www.samba.org). Desription of the bug, as well as a patch that fixes it, has been sent to their Bugzilla and is available at https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5928

[Krótki (kr0tki)]

The bug is now fixed in sampa 3.2.6. See http://samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.2.6.html

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Marking fix committed since the fix was committed upstream for samba 3.2.6.
Once we pick it up this can be marked fixed released.
