Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
I'm running the Karmic RC.
I right-click on a folder in nautilus and share it.
I then reboot the computer.
I try to access the share from another computer, but when I put in my username/pw, it doesn't authenticate.
Only after I run 'sudo smbpasswd [user]' can I authenticate to the share and access it.
The smbpasswd user should be added by default.

Nautilus Share does add this by default, by making you install libpam-smbpass if
it detects that you do not have Samba already, and requesting that you restart
your session. libpam-smbpass will then generate your samba user account with the
same username and password. If samba is already installed, it is assumed that
you have the technical knowhow to configure your system appropriately.
I'm marking this as invalid for nautilus-share, but if anyone has a better nautilus- share
solution, please reopen this bug by marking it as "New."

I'm also marking the samba task as invalid, because there's nothing wrong with
samba's operations with respect to this issue.
