Public bug reported:
When a user shares a folder in Nautilus via right-click and selecting "Sharing
Options", no changes are made to smb.conf - I don't know exactly where this
information goes but I assume it's handled via gconf.
This possibly isn't a problem as long as the GUI method works. When it fails,
the user will resort to using system-config-samba or editing smb.conf directly.
This results in a split configuration, and a situation in which the share
definitions reported by 'testparm' might disagree with those shown by 'net
usershare info'. Also, the shares will be intermittently inaccessible.
Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
samba:
Installed: 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.5
Candidate: 2:3.5.8~dfsg-1ubuntu2.5
How I duplicated the problem:
cp smb.conf old-smb.conf
In Nautilus, right-click a folder ("ebooks"), select "Sharing Options", select
"Share this folder"
diff smb.conf old-smb.conf
or
ls -l smb.conf
