Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
Using right-click -> sharing options: When sharing a folder with wrong permissions (eg. no reading permissions for other users), you get a warning dialog, offering to change permissions for that folder. But, if that folder has correct permissions and its parent folder doesn't have, it doesn't give any warning. Example: $ mkdir folderA $ mkdir folderA/folderB $ chmod o-rx folderA Then try to share folderB. You get no warnings, and the share doesn't work. It should give the same warning you get if you try to share folterA.
