Question #251080 on samba in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/251080
Status: Open => Answered
Thomas Krüger proposed the following answer:
Just for your understanding: SMB aka the Windows file sharing system is not a
typical client / server architecture.
Infact every machine serves the purpose of both client and server. It is more
like an P2P architecture.
That means if you access a resource (file share, printer, ...) on a remote
machine, you are a client, if a remote machine access a resource on your system
you are a server. Both can happpen at the same time.
So, there is no actual need (or way) to define the role.
Also one of your pathes contains a space, it is possible it has to be put in
quotes:
/home/manihome/for sharing → "/home/manihome/for sharing"
