Public bug reported:
I tried to share a folder and was prompted to install samba, which I accepted.
I did not install pam-smbpass as I don't need it. I was prompted to log out and
in again, which I did. Now I get this when creating a share:
---
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare
directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to
grant you permissions to create a share.

It looks like the user was not added to the group sambashare at all (which
script is supposed to do this? Where is the log file?).
Manually running
# sudo usermod -a -G sambashare jakob
fixes the issue.
