I'm not that inexperienced of a user (from my point of view :)) but I stumbled on this issue as well.
Since the right-click > Share menu brings up a nice GUI that even installs services if required, nobody will ever think of opening a console right away to create a Samba user. One expects the configuration to be made by the GUI. I agree there should be an option to create a User in the GUI or let user choose anonymous access. -- When guest (nobody) account exists, smbpasswd should default to none https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39717 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
