Public bug reported: Share a folder in a simple domestic network need to check the share item in the folder properties. 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 !
