[Bug 1299186] Re: Creating a Samba Share is not possible because "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Access denied."

[Felix Wolters]

First of all, this is NOT a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1261873. I get the
same problem, while my [homes] section in smb.conf is ok, i.e. ALL the
lines there are commented out.

What happens on at least two independend installations of Trusty, one of
them a fresh one: Trying to share a folder in Nautilus for the first
time makes it automatically ask to install the samba package. This seems
to work, but then a simmilar dialogue appears asking to install "libpam-
smbpass", too, but this time the whole dialogue is greyed out and
clicking one of the two buttons (cancel or install) has no effect at
all. It can only be closed clicking the x button in the top corner.

Shares don't work then, as discribed before.
