SUMMARY
-------
`dolphin-24.12.2-1.fc41.x86_64` doesn't enable `smb.service` if its preset is
set to `disabled`, and/or it is unstarted.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
------------------
What *I* did is the undermentioned, so it deliberately isn't generalised for
*trivial* reproduction elsewhere, but is reproducible:
1. Installed `cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:41`.
2. Installed `dolphin-24.12.2-1.fc41.x86_64`:
~~~sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh
sudo dnf5 --refresh install -y dolphin-24.12.2-1.fc41.x86_64
~~~
3. Navigated to [`$HOME/Public`][1].
4. Right-clicked.
5. Selected the "Properties" context menu entry.
6. Selected the "Share" tab.
7. Created a Samba password.
8. Authorised the creation of a new Samba user, as prompted to by PolKit.
9. Enabled sharing the directory via my LAN.
10. Selected the "OK" button.
OBSERVED RESULT
---------------
> `net usershare add`: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The
> transport-connection attempt was refused by the remote system.. Maybe `smbd`
> is not running.
EXPECTED RESULT
---------------
The service should have been automatically enabled.
