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

[J-Paul BERARD]

End of my answer :
About :

"I was able to configure shares using system-config-samba - that worked
fine (and I think is probably the correct way todo it)."

It's not what is described in the french documentation of the new releases of Ubuntu http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/samba and it's surprising ! Ubuntu wants to be easy. It ask you different things to share a folder and you should do things that it doesn't ask...
And system-config-samba looks to write in smb.conf file while ckecking the share tab of the folder properties write in var/lib/samba/usershares. It looks like 2 different ways ?
Thanks

Title:
  share samba doesn't work easily

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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 !
