This is what kinda killed VMware for me.  The server wanted to install its own 
smb.conf.  It did not offer a backup of mine or any of the usual install 
alternatives.  I chose not to do it as I did not want to hose a working samba 
system.  That killed file and clipboard sharing.  Without that, I might as 
well be running windows on a separate box with greater efficiency.
