Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Attempting to share a folder outside my Home I get this message:
»net usershare« gab den Fehler 255 zurück: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/Archiv as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own. Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false" to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
This message is helpful already, but a question remains: Which smb.conf? Looking at my file system I find three smb.conf's:
$ find / -name smb.conf 2>/dev/null
/usr/share/
/usr/share/
/etc/samba/smb.conf
$
Likely, the above message can be enhanced :-)

One option is to allow the user to do this automagically. If they've got system-config-samba installed, then the attached script (run as root) will do that. With some PolicyKit magic to do authentication and a suitably nasty "Are you really sure you want to do this? Do you trust all the users on this machine?" message, it might well work...
