Public bug reported:
Kubuntu 17.04
Samba 2:4.5.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.17.04.2
Ubuntu's samba package doesn't set a samba password for the active user
once installed.
This leaves the user with a non-functional samba installation unless the
user manually runs `smpasswd -a <user>` (bad user experience) or their
GUI file manager notices this condition and does it for them
(fragmentation and inconsistency among clients).
The package's installation should somehow trigger a prompt to create a Samba
password--or better yet, have Samba re-use the user's existing login password,
if that's possible.
