Bug Description
you still can't just right click on a folder/file say share and it just work.
I had this issue the other day on a box and couldn't connect to it. Kept asking for a password and wouldn't take a blank one. I had to run smbpasswd -a USERNAME then it worked. guest access wouldn't work. (this was done on a fresh karmic install)
would be nice if you could set a per directory password.

The samba usernames/passwords which is installed by nautilus-share when you
first set up a share, unless you've already manually installed samba from the
package manager. If you have already manually installed samba, then it is
assumed that you have the technical expertise to manually configure samba and
smbpasswd yourself.
With libpam-smbpass, whenever a user logs into the computer with a password or
changes his/her password, the corresponding samba user will be created/modified
with the password given.

If you have libpam-smbpass installed, this is already possible by managing the
users in System-
permissions set on the folder itself.
