Forgot to mention: this is with Ubuntu 20.04. And since I upgraded my
main system 14.04->16.04->18.04->20.04 I also confirmed the brokenness
in a VM with a fresh 20.04 setup, just to convince myself that this
issue actually happens out-of-the-box.

Wow, this is a frustating issue! It took me hours to figure out, simply

told me: it's broken out of the box and I need to fiddle with samba
internals.
Yes a simple "sudo smbpasswd -a myusername" is sufficient to make it work
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
** Changed in: nautilus-share (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
