Public bug reported: I am running Ubuntu 12.10 and when I try to create a file share it gives me this error "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running.". I have tried start samba and try restarting it and comes with the same error.
