Thanks for taking the time to report this bug in Ubuntu. I might be missing the point but I could not reproduce this:
"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." I could not find any options in the standard file manager on my 12.04 install todo this - could you explain in a bit more detail? With regards to; "2 more things were necessary : I had to add system-config-samba and add again the share folders." I was able to configure shares using system-config-samba - that worked fine (and I think is probably the correct way todo it). With regards to: "From the other computer (with Ubuntu) I must connect with the IP adress to see these share folders !" I suspect that something is incorrect in your local network or samba configuration; its worth checking to see if you can resolve the hostname of the system you are trying to connect to from the client: hostname <samba target> Marking 'Incomplete' pending your response. Please set the status back to 'New' once you have provided the requested information about how you tried to configure samba sharing first.
