[Bug 332241] Re: nautilus "folder sharing" fails to share a directory

[carlosLang]

I might have found something interesting about this bug.

This is also affecting me, after i installed Ubuntu 9.10.

I followed all the recommendations on this and other, similar thereads, elsewhere.
I produced a detail of my config (below), yet while doing it i noticed the following:

Even after i either wait for more than 1 minute, or send a HUP signal to the smbd daemon or logout-login, even restart the whole computer,
the following lines on my /etc/samba/smb.conf file are 
NOT shown up by the testparm -s:

	usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
	usershare owner only = yes

Is this the cause for the issue i have?  Could this be the source of the
issue for so many other users?

Funny thing: even after i either a) wait for more than 1 minute, or send a HUP signal to the smbd daemon or logout-login, the following lines on my /etc/samba/smb.conf file are
NOT shown up by the testparm:

	usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
	usershare owner only = yes

Is this the cause for the issue i have?  Could this be the source of the
issue for so many other users?
