Bug Description

system-config-samba and folder sharing does not work in LM 18 Mate.
I am unable to assign sharing properties on anything, even with adequate permissions on user and group. It does the same thing with root user.
The trouble is permanent.
The bug is present on several installations.

This seems to be similar to bug #1608061

I have confirmed using a terminal and running the command:" sudo apt install samba --install-recommends " fixes this problem on LM Mate 18, 18.1, and 18.2

After digging deep on the internet, I found a solution or workaround:

sudo su
touch /etc/libuser.conf
chmod 777 /etc/libuser.conf

and then everything works fine...

thanks
