Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
When a folder is shared by right-clicking on the folder in Nautilus and sharing it, the folder is shared, but it does not show up in shares-admin.
File sharing is hard enough for novice users without adding an extra layer of confusion. The list of shared folders should be representative of the actual folders that are visible to the outside world.
The /etc/samba/smb.conf file does *not* show the Nautilus shares either!
Steps to reproduce:
1. Up to date Intrepid.
2. Share a folder in Nautilus.
3. Launch shares-admin.
4. Notice that there are no shares.
5. Browse the network.
6. Goto WORKGROUP -> Machine and see the Nautilus shared folder.
To post a comment you must log in.
After removing the tick box from the Nautilus sharing option and sharing the folder through the shares-admin tool, the folder is once again shared.
Nautilus does not show that the folder is shared.
Sharing the folder in Nautilus, while it is shared using shares-admin, results in a shared folder.
Stopping the folder from being shared in Nautilus, while the folder is still shared in shares-admin results in the folder vanishing from the network. /etc/samba/smb.conf and shares-admin both show the folder as shared, but it's not visible. Reloading samba does not fix this problem.
Resharing the folder in shares-admin results in the folder being available.
The workgroup remains the same (WORKGROUP), even if it's changed in shares-admin.
