[Bug 995817] Re: share samba doesn't work easily

[Robie Basak]

J-Paul,

Perhaps it would help if you installed the smbclient package and then run:
    smbclient -L localhost

and for each share listed (if any), run:
    smbclient //localhost/<share>
both with your password and with no password.

This would help isolate if this is a problem in Nautilus or in Samba.

Thanks!

Title:
  share samba doesn't work easily

Status in “nautilus-share” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Share a folder in a simple domestic network need to check the share item in the folder properties.
  Ubuntu ask to install samba and libpam-smbpass. After reboot and check this item again, Ubuntu ask to change the permissions.
  After this point, it should work ! It would be quite easy.

  It doesn't !

  2 more things were necessary :
  I had to add system-config-samba and add again the share folders.
  From the other computer (with Ubuntu) I must connect with the IP adress to see these share folders !

  Is it normal ? Thanks !
