Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus-share
by default ntfs drives are in /etc/fstab with umask=007
this gives no read, no write, no execute permission to "others"
this means LAN computers trying to access files off your computer
through samba cant read them, because they dont have permission
the folder gets shared (ignoring the couple of problems, ie you have to
log out/in, and you have to add "usershare owner only = False" to the
global section of smb.conf, or run nautilus with gksu) but then the
files cant be read by another computer
solution: by default, ntfs drives entries in /etc/fstab should have
umask=000. they are shared drives with no concept of permissions. they
should be completely open by default. samba itself can then control what
specific permissions LAN computers have on the files on these drives
** Affects: nautilus-share (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
