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

[ped5]

Ran an update from a 12.10 update, and got the same error, and fell on
this thread.

I've added chuck's smb.conf.good, and updated my current shares.  All
the original [homes] shared parameters are commented out.

Running samba 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.3
on 14.04 LTS

All of my shares are visible through windows machines and XBMC, however
still getting NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED with smbstatus.

My shares made generic are as such:
-------------------------
[share1]
   comment = Backup Drive 2TB
   path = /media/disk2
   browseable = Yes
   read only = no

[share2]
   comment = Media Directory
   path = /media
   browseable = Yes
   read only = no

[share3$]
   comment = XMBC access to movies
   path = /home/user/Movies
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = no

[share4$]
   comment = XMBC access to TV
   path = /home/user/TV
   public = yes
   guest ok = yes
   read only = no


------
Yes, I know share1 and 2 point the same locations, just share 1 I typically map to the windows machines whereas 2 is if I need access to USB drives.

So although it's not causing issues for what I need done persay, it's
still a bit concerning that it's apparently not clean.   Is there
something to do with chmod or UID access that I've overlooked?

Not urgent as it functions, just would like it to run a bit more clean
before there are other issues introduced that I'm simply not noticing
yet.

Appreciate any insights,
-ped

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