[Bug 628529] [NEW] Share name collisions possible between user and global shares

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: nautilus-share

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

When a global share is created in /etc/samba/smb.conf (like with shares-
admin) the same name can be specified with nautilus-share
(/var/lib/samba/usershares).

Example:  create a directory /home/public and use shares-admin to share
it as "public".  Login to a user account and share ~/Public with
Nautilus as "Public".  Obviously a SMB conflict but no complaints at all
(even in logs).  The global share seems to take priority.

This may be a Samba bug with the net command as nautilus-share seems to
use it to create user shares.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
