[Bug 1045194] Re: usershares created in nautilus not working

[Thomas]

I had to put following into the smb.conf to get it work (see below). The
core problem is that nautilus does not check these options like it does
in other cases to get something to work. Probably the whole problem is
related to "nautilus-share" then but I am not sure.

"th" is my user account.
