[Bug 995817] Re: share samba doesn't work easily

[Robie Basak]

Failed to reproduce on samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2.

I used "net usershare add test /home/ubuntu/test '' '' guest_ok=yes",
ran "smbclient -L localhost", and the new share had appeared there.
"smbclient //localhost/test" allows me to connect to it.

I then installed libpam-smbpass and set a password for the ubuntu user
using "sudo passwd ubuntu". Then I ran "net usershare add test
/home/ubuntu/test2" and "smbclient //localhost/test2" allows me to
connect to it if I used the password I set.

It seems to me that samba's usershares are working exactly as expected,
so I'm marking this as Invalid in samba. If this is not the case, please
could you explain exactly what samba should be doing that it is not?

I'm also adding a separate bug task for nautilus-share. It sounds like
it's an issue between one of these two packages.

** Also affects: nautilus-share (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  share samba doesn't work easily

Status in “nautilus-share” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Share a folder in a simple domestic network need to check the share item in the folder properties.
  Ubuntu ask to install samba and libpam-smbpass. After reboot and check this item again, Ubuntu ask to change the permissions.
  After this point, it should work ! It would be quite easy.

  It doesn't !

  2 more things were necessary :
  I had to add system-config-samba and add again the share folders.
  From the other computer (with Ubuntu) I must connect with the IP adress to see these share folders !

  Is it normal ? Thanks !
