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.
