If I'm not mistaken this only affects non-Administrator user accounts. It is happening on my fresh installation of 13.10.
Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a new unprivileged user using the User Accounts control panel 2) Login with this new user account 3) Try to share a folder with Nautilus Expected results: - The share is created Actual results: - Sharing fails with error: '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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995406 Title: User not added to group sambashare: "You do not have permission to create a usershare."
