Bug Description

ubuntu 21.10, GNOME 40.4.0
described here: https:/
killed me all day today until finding the top answer there, which solved it.
i tried settings/media sharing. i could not see the indicated directories on my LAN from a mac. (reported as https:/
i right-clicked a directory that was supposed to be shared by that setting (/home/
i still could not see the directory from the mac.
only once i spent all day googling and finally found the askubuntu solution did i figure out the problem -- "other users" needs execute permission on all directories above the shared directory all the way down to the root. /home/username/ does not have that permission. you need to set it if someone sets sharing with guest access on any descendant of a home directory.
now if i don't set guest access, my ubuntu username/pw are rejected when trying to log in from the mac. i tracked this down to this bug: https:/
lastly, i get file transfers of 8MB/s when i push to the server from the mac. but when i pull from the mac on the server, i only get 3MB/s. reported here: https:/
