This happens when you don't have the rights to run /usr/sbin/fileshareset. Let me explain (not only for you, i don't quite understand at which moment things went wrong for you): - fileshareset is setuid and enables a user to export his directories IF root allowed it. To allow fileshare'ing, you can use diskdrake, nfs or smb, click on Export. Or simply edit /etc/security/fileshare.conf and put RESTRICT=no - when you're allowed to fileshareset, you can use konqueror/nautilus interface to call it. > When I get diskdrake up, there is a tab called 'filesharing' > (i believe).

When it returns with a list of shares available (pc's, not the actual > directory that is shared) this is the opposite of fileshare stuff. It's still done in diskdrake (like it is in mdk 8.1) until kde/gnome have a nice interface for this. At that time, we'll surely add another setuid somewhere to allow users to mount remote shares. > I click on a computer name and everything locks > up while it checks the machine.

Try nfs ;p Or please, try to understand why the simple "smbclient -L ..." doesn't terminate ? > I also cannot find a place to 'share' one of my directories (even > though that is what I set out to do). I have 'RESTRICT=no' in > /etc/security/fileshare.conf. now that you have RESTRICT=no, you should be able to use the Sharing tab in properties...
