Sorry for my bad English (I am French-speaking) which is probably at the origin of this confusion.

I use Ubuntu Dapper (kernel 2.6.15-26-k7) and I think I already upgraded to Dapper at the time of that bug report.

I use shares-admin on my PC to manage the shared folders on both NFS and SMB as my laptop is also under Ubuntu but the computer of my father is under Windows, and I want to share the same forlders on both networks.

But now that everything is configured, if I want to modify the configuration of any shared forlder, I can only do it for the SMB network and not for NFS, as even by selecting the NFS entry and clicking on "Properties" it gives me the properties of the SMB entry - and selecting "NFS" shows an empty NFS configuration.

In fact it is effectively dependant of the order, as adding a new SMB for a folder already shared on NFS and then trying to configure the new one makes it fall down to NFS - but as shares-admin seems to load the SMB config first, It will be the opposite next time.

However I can all the same add or remove shared folders without any problem.

I could not try to reproduce this bug on another computer (my laptop is currently in repair...)
