Bug Description
I tried to share a folder a folder under my home directory then connect to it
from a windows machine. The user did not authenticate. After some searching I
found a suggestion to run the command smbpasswd. I did this. I could now
connect from the windows machine however it showed two shares. My home
directory and the actual folder I had asked to be shared. In the shared folders
list it still only showed the one directory.
My issues with this is that:
1. You should never have to bother with running smbpasswd in the first place.
2. The home folder should not have been shared without my asking for it to be
shared.
3. All shared folders should show up in the list.

I have the same issues (Breezy RC1).
I think access to the shares should be possible without authentication
(anonymous) as long as there is no way to set up user based permissions.
Also if I try to share my home directory with shares-admin the /root directory
gets shared (I think this is because of sudo). Instead of that the home
directory of the user should be used.
