[Bug 41955] Re: Normal user cannot share folders from home, even if authorised

[Townk]

I had the same problem but with a different approach:

* I right click on my Public folder (which is located on my ~) and choose Share..
* I checked the "Share this folder" checkbox
* Add some comments
* Check the "Guest access" checkbox
* Click on "Create Share" button

Then Nautilus shows me the following message:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied
You do not have permission to create a usershare. Ask your administrator to grant you permissions to create a share.

I checked and my user has the sambashare group and this is the output of an "ls -l" on /var/lib/samba:
drwxrwx--t 2 root sambashare  4096 2008-04-12 18:51 usershares/

I hope this helps.
