Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-share

Hi, I use ubuntu 8.04.

When someone enables sharing for the first time, ubuntu asks about installing necessary packages. That's OK, packages get downloaded and installed.

During install, apt-get creates new system group for users with enabled sharing permissions. (sambashares or something like that, I don't have an access to my PC now). I've also realized, that current user is automatically added to this group.

Unfortunately, user need to re-login to apply that setting. That leads to misunderstandings - error about not enough permissions to access /var/lib/samba/usershares appear.
