[Bug 994075] [NEW] NTFS partition/volume cannot be shared via SMB

Public bug reported:

Using installations or LiveCDs of 10.10, 11.04, 11.10, and 12.04 on
multiple computers, I am unable to share NTFS partitions or disks via
SMB using the sharing function in Dolphin.  It last seemed to work in
Kubuntu 10.04.

I can successfully create a share, and it can be seen from other
devices, but it either cannot be accessed from other devices (e.g. an
Ubuntu 10.10 machine, Windows boxes on the network, Android, et cetera)
or, if accessible, the files themselves are not visible.

This issue does not appear in Ubuntu 10.10, in which such sharing is
effortless.

I have tried various efforts and searches over the months of having this
issue (including attempting manual addition via smb.conf) but have not
found a suggestion which has worked, and given that it has persisted
across multiple releases and occurs on multiple machines as well I must
conclude it is a bug (one which, incidentally, is the reason I am not
all-in for Kubuntu on all my devices).
