@emarkay: 1/ Windbind is used to integrate with Windows domains. It is not useful to access SMB shares on individual workstations being part of a common workgroup.
2/ The main issue you're reporting here is how much easier it should be to set up shared files through Windows SMB networking on Ubuntu. Launchpad bugs are not used to track such generic bugs (bug #1 being an exception), but rather specific issues. You should use the Ubuntu Brainstorm site for this request. 3/ The method you're using is *not* the recommended, simplest way to do it. Doing it through samba manual configuration requires a good understanding on how samba works, as this is a very complex piece of software. Your remarks 4 and 5 in comment 10 seem to show you're underdocumented in that area. 4/ I'd recommend using the existing tools integrated on the Ubuntu Desktop instead (right-click on a folder in Nautilus and select "Share options"). That's the recommended, dead-simple way of doing it. Unfortunately your tries at a manual samba/winbind setup might now interfere with this feature working correctly. I'd recommend you purge samba samba-common winbind from synaptic before you try to enable the shares in Nautilus. -- Karmic-Networking (SAMBA) just does not work, even with detailed attention. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/456808 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
