[Bug 513427] [NEW] 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Invalid parameter.

[Christopher]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I have enabled sharing via Samba in System/Administration but the
Summary message appears when I try to share the same folders right-
clicking and choosing Sharing Options from the drop down menu.

I have four computers: two desktops connected by ethernet, and a
wireless laptop and netbook. The desktops 'talk' to each other but the
two on wireless do not.

Firestarter has all four domains registered as safe as well as Samba and
Cups, although printing is not usually a problem; wired or wireless.

Currently both the laptop and main desktop are running Lucid with the
other two on Karmic; all up to date.
