That's 90+ pages showing how "easy" it is to set up Samba.
That doesn't alter the fact that people have been using it for years
and years and years and doing so in a manner that's transparent to the
relevant Windows or MacOS users.

I did notice that most of the posts were along the lines of either "Is
WEP or WPA encryption better?" and the answers, or "Thanks for making it
so clear, it was easy to get working by following your instructions."

For setting up file and print shares, 90 pages of explanation of Samba
aren't necessary.

The first page does it with room to spare. The other 89 are replies and
replies to replies, mostly (In the first dozen or so pages, ICBA to read
more.) asking questions about wireless networking and minor points
relating to their Windows network setup.

The point is the first page didn't do it for the other 90 pages of
posts.
IOW people *do* have problems setting this up.

Nope.

As the other guy that actually read the thread said: Most of the
rest was stuff from out in left field that borders on the purely
academic and doesn't even touch on the question of how hard stuff
is to setup.
