When I try to access the samba configuration tool in System Settings, all of the configuration options are grayed out and I can't reset any of them. *If I try to start the configuration tool using kdesudo systemsettings, most of the options are blank even if I load /etc/samba/smb.conf.
I don't have this problem for other configuration modules such as user manager, which require root access to make changes.
Any ideas how to access the gui config tool with appropriate access? *I'm not looking to manually edit smb.conf or install another tool.

This tool is badly broken upstream and has been for some years.
Kubuntu people are working on rewriting it.
