[Bug 1574403] Re: Get an error 255 when trying to share a folder in Ubuntu 12.04.

[Seth Arnold]

I'm sorry to say that I don't know the answer. The recent updates were
huge to fix a variety of fundamental protocol flows and other
outstanding issues. I think it's plausible that further updates may
reduce some issues but other issues may require manual configuration
changes (potentially returning to the vulnerable state in the process)
and some issues may not have good resolutions.

Thanks
