Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: samba
os: ubuntu 8.04.1
package: samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4
[description]
For some reason my shares were no longer marked as shared in nautilus.
I decided to "wipe out" samba and do a fresh install. I did the following:
1. sudo apt-get remove samba
2. sudo rm -rf /etc/samba/{all files in there}
3. sudo apt-get install samba. During installation I got an error reagarding
dependencies
between samba and samba-common and the installation would fail.
I managed to cmplete the installation by doing this:
sudo touch /etc/samba/smb.conf
Although samba installed my smb.conf was empty and I still haven't been
able to share again.
[what I would like it to do]
I think that smb.conf should be created with its default contents each
time a user installs samba AND smb.conf is missing for whatever reason.
Otherwise it should use an existing smb.conf.
