[Bug 592610] Re: Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly

[julius von kohout]

are you referring to root share or usershare? root shares work properly
and they are meant to be done by fiddling with smb.conf

user share via nautilus does not work properly

private shares with password (its automatically your login password)
work.

public (guest) shares in the home directory dont work because samba
cannot cd into /home because /home defaul permissons are to strict for
"nobody" which is the guest/public samba user.

i had a long talk with the maintainer of nautilus-share. there are
several possible fixes.

1. set homedirectoy permissons for  "eveyone else" properly
2. add force user = owner of the /home/'your username' directoy to smb.con and map to guest = bad password
