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

[Chow Loong Jin]

I'm pretty sure it's not a nautilus-share issue. Nautilus-share only
deals with the output of "net usershare info" and manages user shares
via the "net usershare add" and "net usershare delete" commands. If "net
usershare info" says that the share exists, then as far as nautilus-
share is concerned, the share exists. If Samba is still not exporting
the share despite saying that the usershare exists, then there is a bug
in Samba.

I am setting the status for Samba to incomplete until the requested
information (output of smbclient -L //localhost/ and smbclient
//localhost/<share>) is provided.

Title:
  share samba doesn't work easily

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

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 !
