Title:
Folder Sharing dialog does not install libpam-smbpass if samba is
already installed
Status in “nautilus-share” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
If you open the Folder Sharing dialog in Nautilus and click "Share
this folder" while neither the samba nor libpam-smbpass packages are
installed, then Nautilus automatically prompts you to install samba
and then libpam-smbpass. However, if samba is already installed and
libpam-smbpass is not, Nautilus does NOT prompt you to install libpam-
smbpass. Rather, it happily allows you to enable sharing on the
folder, which results in a broken configuration because it is
impossible for any user to authenticate to access the folder without
libpam-smbpass installed.
Expected behaviour:
If either samba or libpam-smbpass are not installed, Nautilus should
prompt you to install the missing ones.
Actual behaviour:
If samba is installed and libpam-smbpass is not, Nautilus does not
prompt you to install libpam-smbpass and users are unable to
authenticate to the shared folder.
