Hi,
Nearly all of the machines on my network were brought up to Kubuntu 10.10
using a clean installation, rather than an upgrade. Consequently, none had
samba installed or configured.
On this machine, I installed the package 'Samba' (system-config-samba), which
is a Gnome package that allows for very simple configuration, such as might be
used on a home network. It worked perfectly for me on this machine and
allowed me to set the workgroup, machine name and access rights very quickly.
On my son's machine it installed OK, but it won't let him start it. The
problem seems to be something to do with gksu. On this machine, gksu pops up
and asks for my password; on his machine it asks for the administrative
password, which isn't the same thing.
How do I get gksu to do a sudo instead of a su, and why is it different on two
apparently idenical installations?
