(Get the code!)
@PeterNZ,
You need to run it as sudo to get changes to stick or survive after reboot. I had exactly the same experience as you did and stumbled on the solution after much anger and frustration. I am a kindred soul in this matter. Apparently it is so second nature to this other twit that responded, that he does not even know he is doing things to fix the problem you describe. Try running it with SU or SUDO.
@Chow Loong Jin
You are an ARSE !!! tell me how anything you responded to eve came close to helping the guy ??? Just because YO?U understand why something works or does not work does not mean it is clear to the rest of the users ! Peter is 100% correct when he says this is why Linux does not catch on. because things just do not work, and testing is doing a horrible job of basic functionality. I had exactly the same problem as did this guy and you are in point of fact wrong, it did not work as you described trying to share folders when 8.04 was released! I hope your blood boils dry so that other people do not have to experience your kind of attitude again when trying to point out that Linux SHOULD have basic functionality tested and working BEFORE you release it to the public and before you decide to make changes to content or enhancements.
