Description Sebastien Bacher 2005-10-21 10:05:10 UTC
This bug has been described here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8451

"I tried to share a folder a folder under my home directory then connect to it
from a windows machine.  The user did not authenticate.  After some searching I
found a suggestion to run the command smbpasswd.  I did this.  I could now
connect from the windows machine however it showed two shares.  My home
directory and the actual folder I had asked to be shared.  In the shared folders
list it still only showed the one directory.

My issues with this is that:

1. You should never have to bother with running smbpasswd in the first place.
2. The home folder should not have been shared without my asking for it to be
shared.
3. All shared folders should show up in the list.
...
I have the same issues (Breezy RC1).

I think access to the shares should be possible without authentication
(anonymous) as long as there is no way to set up user based permissions.

Also if I try to share my home directory with shares-admin the /root directory
gets shared (I think this is because of sudo). Instead of that the home
directory of the user should be used."

Any news on this bug? It is really a showstopper for "share folders" GUI tool.  
Comment 2 Daniel Holbach 2006-07-12 16:22:15 UTC
http://librarian.launchpad.net/3371593/share.pl.diff is a suggested patch (it might need porting to the new gst/stb world order).
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2006-09-08 20:10:53 UTC
Carlos, what do you think about running smbpasswd from gst?

I think that 170564 328935 355572 are duplicates of this bug, how do I mark them as so?
(BTW: from the numbers of duplicates there seems to be really an interest in this)
Comment 5 Carlos Garnacho 2007-12-26 02:06:46 UTC
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

This bug is not resolved in g-s-t 2.22.0 on Hardy Beta
Comment 9 Milan Bouchet-Valat 2009-08-28 21:36:18 UTC
Patrice: Isn't it working in Jaunty? I've just checked that the current code calls smbpasswd.
