Comment 24 for bug 215810

Frankly this is pathetic. I have combed these sites for two days now simply trying to share a folder in 8.04 LTS and it's a needle in the haystack looking for advice. I've installed Nautilus Share (doesn't work, simply resets - after reboot). Installed Samba (which is overkill anyway) and which I don't really understand. Why can you not share your files with other users on the same authentication system without having to jump through a million hoops? It should be a right click - select user -done! Its stupid stuff like this that makes people return to XP.
