(Get the code!)
Hello, I am using Ubuntu 9.04. I insert the pen drive and bring up the device in Nautilus. I right click the empty space to select properties -> share -> share this folder -> create share.
I receive this error message:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/disk 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.
However, even after doing this, I still cannot check the 'allow others to write to this folder'. I'm also concerned that I have to change configuration settings in a system daemon to share at all, since this is just a user-mounted pen drive.
