I ran Ubuntu 12.04 and shares worked perfectly. After upgrading to 14.04 I found none of my shares was accessible from the newtwork. I would be presented with a login request but was never able to connect.
Then I tried to share a new folder and I received the following error:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/Philips/Pictures as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own.
Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = false"
to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
After adding the usershare line as instructed the error changed to:
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Access denied.
