Hi, Is there any progress on this subject? Samba folder sharing still does not work out-of-the-box. The first time I ran into this, it took me over two hours to find out that I had to add a user with smbpasswd -a, and I'm not exactly a linux newbie either. Maybe it would be good to have smbpasswd -a being executed automatically the first time you share a folder from Gnome, perhaps using a little dialog window. Or maybe setup automatic linux-samba user synchronization?
Thanks for your support. cheers Bart. -- the security parameter must be set to share, not user, in smb.conf https://launchpad.net/bugs/32067 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
