[Bug 1261873] Re: [trusty] "usershare" access denied error (leads to non working nautilus samba sharing)

[taj]

I use the smb.conf that worked like a charm in 12.04 and 13.10, but I cannot get access anymore from remote (Windows) computers. It does not see the share anymore.
Message when connecting Win7 machine: The remote device or resource won't accept the connection - Detected

Nothing has worked so far. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samba packages, changed valid users in smb.conf. testparm is ok.
samba 2:4.1.6+dfsg i386 is currently running

Sorry for the rant, but I am amazed that trivial issues like this (and
e.g. a file-cannot-be-read-press-enter-to-continue bug after boot) exist
in an LTS version. It is frustrating and a waste of time to fix
something that used to work.

Bug description:
  Installed daily build of gnome 14.04 dated 12/17 can not share
  directories.  Getting

  'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert

  Copied a unmodified version of smb.conf from my 13.10 system, ran sudo
  service cups restart and now can successfully share directories.
