shares disappeared after upgrade to intrepid

[Jessie Lawrence]

Binary package hint: samba

first of all: shouldn't the public folder be shared by default? otherwise, what is so special about it?

anyway, i was sharing the public folder, and when i upgraded to ubuntu, the share disappeared off the network. the computer reports no problems, according to the computer, the folder IS shared. its not.

...

well, thats it. im sure someone will want to know more, so ask.

How did you share your public folder in the first place (ie before the upgrade)?

i right-clicked it, selected "Sharing Options," then clicked "Share
this folder" and then "Create Share"

wait a sec...

i am terribly sorry. please invalidate this bug. i am using another
computer right now and just now i checked to see if it was working,
and it is; i can connect to the share now.

sorry for wasting time.

so, sharing does work.

however, i still think that the public folder should have SOME kind of
special property that makes it "Public". (i.e. all user accounts may
read files in the public folder of any account)

Marking invalid for samba.
