it doesn't use libsmbclient, it uses the net usershare and testparm -s --parameter-name='usershare allow guests commands. Now, with: Description: Nautilus extension to share folder using Samba Nautilus Share allows you to quickly share a folder from the GNOME Nautilus file manager without requiring root access. it requires samba to work, so the package installs samba before running anything. I still have to find out why it needs to run these two commands before installing samba anyway.
