I might have found something interesting about this bug.

This is also affecting me, after i installed Ubuntu 9.10.

I followed all the recommendations on this and other, similar thereads, 
elsewhere.
I produced a detail of my config (below), yet while doing it i noticed the 
following:

Even after i either wait for more than 1 minute, or send a HUP signal to the 
smbd daemon or logout-login, even restart the whole computer,
the following lines on my /etc/samba/smb.conf file are 
NOT shown up by the testparm -s:

        usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
        usershare owner only = yes

Is this the cause for the issue i have?  Could this be the source of the
issue for so many other users?

Funny thing: even after i either a) wait for more than 1 minute, or send a HUP 
signal to the smbd daemon or logout-login, the following lines on my 
/etc/samba/smb.conf file are
NOT shown up by the testparm:

        usershare path = /var/lib/samba/usershares
        usershare owner only = yes

Is this the cause for the issue i have?  Could this be the source of the
issue for so many other users?
