Package: samba The default samba configuration in debian allows regular users to create shares with "net usershare" and its (filemanager) GUI frontends. (as of #443230)
However, users are not able to make their shares public. (e.g. nautilus-shares option is grayed out) To enabling this funtionality, one still needs to add the following settings manually: usershare allow guests = yes map to guest = bad user As the system shares defined in the default config have explicit "guest ok = no" lines, it looks to me that it should not produce a problem to add these settings to the default global section, or define them at compile time. Nevertheless, to limit the sharing to files owned by the creator of a share, the following may be a suitable default: usershare owner only = yes Please, adjust the defaults for full support for usershares. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
