Samba GUI page
One of the most asked for features for Samba is a graphical user interface to help with configuration and management. This is finally starting to happen.
In fact, there are now several GUI interfaces to Samba available. Some of them are listed below and I will add the others as soon as I can find the URLs.

gnomba - A GNOME SMB Subnet Scanner
Gnomba is a GUI machine and share browser for the SMB protocol. Gnomba allows you to scan any number of subnets for machines with SMB. The workgroups, machines and share are shown in a tree-view. For each machine you can then view the list of shares, and mount, unmount or browse them.

Jags is a Gtk+ based "windows network neighbourhood browser". The program parses the output from smbclient and use this to display a graphic view of the network. This program does the parsing with help from shell- scripts.
komba2 - A KDE SMB Subnet Scanner
Komba2 is a GUI machine and share browser for the SMB protocol. Komba2 allows you to scan any number of subnets for machines with SMB. The workgroups, machines and share are shown in a tree-view. For each machine you can then view the list of shares, and mount, unmount or browse them. You can also search a machine by name or ip.
konqueror - KDE File Browser
KDE's filebrowser Konqueror can access smb filesystems using smb:// URL's.
