Does anyone know of either a standalone tool or a distribution's
install&setup procedure which can set up samba shares by looking at what
a windows installation on the same computer does- say, by checking
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares, figuring
where the directories being shared are mounted, matching printers to
those configured in Linux/etc, and offering all of these with the same
share names used in the Windows install?
If not, why not? Has it just not been tried? It seems to me that
something along these lines would be a major advantage in easing
people's transitions from Windows to Linux or other platforms.
