File sharing not working in karmic

[Thomy23]

Binary package hint: samba

The file share feature of nautilus doesn't work for me in Ubuntu 9.10 (Desktop x86).

I set up anonymous access and write-access in the gui for a directory but i cannot read files from it on a remote machine.

The directory is /home/stather/VMs (drwxrwxrwx), and everything in this dir has rwxr-xr-x

and in the samba log i get:

[2010/02/24 10:28:16, 0] param/loadparm.c:8562(process_usershare_file)
  process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/vms failed. Permission denied

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-02-24 08:31 samba
drwxrwx--T 2 root sambashare 4096 2010-02-24 10:27 usershares
-rw-r--r-- 1 stather stather 86 2010-02-24 10:27 vms

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
1. Is this reproducible?
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible.
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Could you give the output of:
ls -ld /home/stather/VMs

Also try to add "usershare owner only = no" to your /etc/samba/smb.conf file.
Might be a dupe of bug 513427

I tried the network-share again and now it works for me with both anonymous and authenticated-only access.
The versions of the installed packages are:

ii samba 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix
ii samba-common 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 common files used by both the Samba server and client
ii samba-common-bin 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.6 common files used by both the Samba server and client

However, i still see the "permission denied" errors in my log.xxxx logfile
It seems to me like they occur every time i try to access the network share.
