are you referring to root share or usershare? root shares work properly and they are meant to be done by fiddling with smb.conf
user share via nautilus does not work properly private shares with password (its automatically your login password) work. public (guest) shares in the home directory dont work because samba cannot cd into /home because /home defaul permissons are to strict for "nobody" which is the guest/public samba user. i had a long talk with the maintainer of nautilus-share. there are several possible fixes. 1. set homedirectoy permissons for "eveyone else" properly 2. add force user = owner of the /home/'your username' directoy to smb.con and map to guest = bad password -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/592610 Title: Shared folders (through Samba) when following instructions sometimes does not work correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/592610/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
