Something I discovered from trying to setup sharing in both Ubuntu and Fedora:
An easy way to setup sharing is to install the system-config-samba application, which I think should be installed by default along with Samba. With that utility I was able to setup users for Samba sharing as well as easily defining my shares. I did have to log-in as root to change the permissions on the share (in my case /data), so that everyone had read/write access, but that's because I'm not proficient w/ using chmod as a sudo command. After that, I was able to map the network drive from a Windows laptop and successfully access the shared folder. My MacBook on the other hand, still cannot access it... -- [shares-admin] Shared folders requires a login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/14774 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a subscriber of a duplicate bug. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
