Public bug reported: I have a computer with a new 17.10 installation, and I have network resources on it that I want to share to other computers on my network, using Samba. I set it up the same way with Samba as I did with the old 16.04 installation, but all the other computers on the network that are running Xubuntu can't connect to it like they did before.
The following are the user experiences of different computers in my network connecting to shared SMB resources on other computers: 16.04 client mount.cifs to 16.04 server: full access 16.04 client path run/user/1000/gvfs to 16.04 server: full access 17.10 client mount.cifs to 16.04 server: full access 16.04 client mount.cifs to 17.10 server: access denied error 17.10 client mount.cifs to 16.04 server: access denied error 16.04 client path run/user/1000/gvfs to 17.10 server: read only access Windows 10 client explorer map drive to 17.10 server: full access the server used to run 16.04 and is now running 17.10. It is the same computer and has the same network resources shared on it that it had when it was running 16.04. The server installation of 17.10 was a clean install but the home folder was existing on a different volume and was remounted after the install. As you can see a Windows 10 computer is the only computer in the network that can connect to the Samba share with full access and no apparent difference in the user experience.
