Hello jhansonxi, thank you for taking the time to file this bug report and help make Ubuntu better!
This is not really a bug in Samba. Samba is working exactly as it is designed, by having the system level configuration file override any ephemeral shares created with the net command. I tried to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 10.10, and it happened as mentioned above. Nautilus-share should warn the user that their share name conflicts with a system level share. As such, I'm reassigning this bug back to nautilus-share, and marking it as Confirmed. Setting importance to Low, as this only affects users who have setup system level shares. ** Package changed: samba (Ubuntu) => nautilus-share (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: nautilus-share (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- Share name collisions possible between user and global shares https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628529 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
