           Summary: Scary message when trying to share a folder via nautilus
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: nautilus
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: richard.kinder at gmail.com
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


The message dialog that pops up when trying to share a folder within nautilus is
quite scary for un-technical users - NFS and Samba are meaningless words for the
average user. The dialog needs to give the user an indication of how to achieve
their goal - that is, sharing a folder. The dialog needs either a brief
description of what to do (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager then
install the 'XYZ' package) or have a 'help' button that links to documentation
specifying how to install samba, nfs etc. and how to set them up.

At the very minimum, an brief indication of how to install Samba/NFS should be
given, and the 'The tool will now close' sentence should be removed (it is too
non-specific - what is 'The tool'?)
