Hi,
Z kdelibs:
 *************************************************************
 *                                                           *
 * NOTE:                                                     *
 * If You want the directories sharing from the context menu *
 * functionality, do as following:                           *
 * 1) Install sperl package,                                 *
 * 2) Set SUID root bit for fileshareset script.             *
 *                                                           *
 * WARNING:                                                  *
 * 1) That allows users to write to /etc/samba/smb.conf,     *
 * 2) After all - using sperl is not safe.                   *
 *                                                           *
 *************************************************************
I have chosen to set the suid root for fileshareset (and remove stupid banner) 
anyone against?
A better idea would be to perhaps create a group that has writable access 
to /etc/samba/smb.conf and among others to samba resources. Depends on your 
choice.
