    Having trouble editing workgroup name in smb.conf file for network connection.

    While using Ubuntu, I had to edit the workgroup name my smb.conf file in order for Windows to recognise my computer as part of it's network.
    Now on Kubuntu 9.04, I can connect to the Windows computers from Kubuntu but Windows cannot connect to Kubuntu. I was able to find the smb.conf file but could not save my changes because of permissions. I think I need to do this via the terminal but Kubuntu commands are different than Ubuntu's; or is there another way? I typed, sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf failed in the terminal & I'm guessing the commands are different in Kubuntu.
    Could someone please advise! Thanks

    I have solved this in part. I assumed Samba was installed with the system but was wrong. With installed I can view the printer form Windows but nothing else. I rechecked a folder I thought I had shared only to find that it is not shared. So, I tried to change permissions & get an kcmshell4 error after typing my password in. Did some searches only to find some unsolved post but nothing else.
