I understand. However, everything you say is much more applicable in a server/IT/business setting than home use. With my IT Consultant hat on, you're absolutely right, but with my Home User hat on, it's all irrelevant. I just want file sharing to work when Samba is installed *after* user creation without having to use the command-line or fiddle with configuration files.
If you think that resolving this issue is out of scope here, I understand and will open bugs on client software like Nautilus and Dolphin (already filed: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381688) Alternatively, would it make sense to have Samba installed by default, so that initial user creation can populate the Samba user/password database that that information immediately? ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #381688 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381688 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1700588 Title: samba package should prompt the user to create a Samba password when first installed (or re-use their existing one) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1700588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
