Red Hat's response to my system-config-samba rhel6 issue

[Stephen Adler]

I thought you guys would find this interesting.... What should I tell 
them the impact of dropping support for what I can only see on the 
surface as being a perfectly good working sys admin tool...

Cheers. Steve.

commented "Hi,

Thank you for contacting Red Hat Support.

system-config-samba has been dropped from RHEL6 without replacement and now only supported way is to edit files manually.
Can you please let us know the business impact which you are facing due to this tool is missing from RHEL6?
