[Bug 695256] [NEW] samba refuses to show shares

[Cypher2]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

For some reason my samba shares refuse to show up on my network eversince the latest maverick updates.
The testparm command outputs these strings and include my smb.conf parameters, which have never failed me so far, until now...
