Failed to reproduce on samba 2:3.6.3-2ubuntu2.2. I used "net usershare add test /home/ubuntu/test '' '' guest_ok=yes", ran "smbclient -L localhost", and the new share had appeared there. "smbclient //localhost/test" allows me to connect to it.
I then installed libpam-smbpass and set a password for the ubuntu user using "sudo passwd ubuntu". Then I ran "net usershare add test /home/ubuntu/test2" and "smbclient //localhost/test2" allows me to connect to it if I used the password I set. It seems to me that samba's usershares are working exactly as expected, so I'm marking this as Invalid in samba. If this is not the case, please could you explain exactly what samba should be doing that it is not? I'm also adding a separate bug task for nautilus-share. It sounds like it's an issue between one of these two packages. ** Also affects: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995817 Title: share samba doesn't work easily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-share/+bug/995817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
