David: in your testing, do you log in on your Linux system after the "restart", or do you directly test under Windows XP for share access ? If not, this probably fails because the user's password isn't migrated to smbpass yet.
Here is how it should work : installing share support also installs libpam-smbpass. This PAM library ensures that user passwords are synced to the samba password tdb when the user logs in (or changes passwords). Until the user password is migrated the share will fail to authenticate you. When you "restart" the session, two things (should) happen: the user gets the rights to setup a share (gets the usershare group rights) and when the user logs in his password gets migrated. So you should actually restart *and* log in again for the share to work. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- folder sharing not working without reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398428 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
