@Soren You said: "Security will not be set to "share". It's an inherently insecure way to be sharing files."
Soren, we can repeat this _over_ and _over_ again. There is nothing about security=share that is not exactly as the user would_ expect_ it to be when installing samba. Use case: The user wants to share files on his home-network with his family. The user enables file-sharing, samba gets installed. File-sharing does not work, because Soren things its unsafe to share files with your family. At least give them a message telling them you know it's best for them to not share files with their family. Perphaps include a message about what to put in their sandwich or on which political party to vote. Insecure means we share files with people we don't _want_ to share files. When we do want to share files, sharing files itself is not insecure. Can this idiotic line of though now finally be abondended. Samba is *not* installed by default. We *enable* it ourself. By that we are _telling_ the system we want to share files. That would be the point where the 'its insecure, your wife might be a terrorist and shouldn't access your files' crap is not pleasing any one. -- the security parameter must be set to share, not user, in smb.conf - Smb/Gnome sharing broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
