Hi J-Paul, I'm pretty sure you are right and system-config-samba should not be needed. You were trying to share files through nautilus which should do it itself. If I'm wrong about that and it cannot, then it should be automatically installing it. In either case, I'll re-target this bug at nautilus.

Ubuntu ask to install samba and libpam-smbpass. After reboot and check this item again, Ubuntu ask to change the permissions. After this point, it should work ! It would be quite easy. It doesn't ! 2 more things were necessary : I had to add system-config-samba and add again the share folders. From the other computer (with Ubuntu) I must connect with the IP adress to see these share folders ! Is it normal ? Thanks !
