Amit,

Here some comments.  I know you are still getting
your feet wet, but ...

~From make_smb_conf.py:

* Store you classes in file and import them so you
~  get code reuse.
* Don't hardcode path and values in your classes.
* class FileService should be a single share.
~  Therefore an AddShare() method doesn't make much
~  sense.  You should be able to create a new
~  file share by simply creating a new FileService
~  object.  This object would then be connected to
~  a SambaConf object to tie it to a configuration
~  file.

~From smb_tools.py

* Don't redefine the Server class, reuse code.
* Don't worry about checking the effective UID.
~  Let the OS do the security checks for you when
~  possible.
* Don't worry about wrapping existing tools just
~  for the sake of having a python wrapper.

| What I also want to do is come up with few
| functions like
|
|   replace_A_Line_In_Smb_conf()
|   edit_A_section_In_Smb_conf()

You already have this in the SambaConf object
I gave you.  You read in the file and then set
a service option.  Then just flush the file to disk.





cheers, jerry
