Aw, I'm just referring to Samba 4's complexity.  Previous iterations could be
tamed with a simple smb.conf file, which I had eventually evolved using
suggestions from an on-line personality named Joe Collins (on YT).

Canonical's Samba 4 requires an additional package called 'system-config-samba'
 which brings with it a GUI methodology of management of sharing requirements. 
 Maximum obscuration points for something that used to only require a simple
text config file.

Have you done battle with it yet?  I would recommend a YT video if you're
interested.  Its guides have helped me with both Lubuntu and Xubuntu so far. 
Interested?

Cheers,
Paul.
