Bug Description
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 and after doing the latest updates this is happening on both my computers. There was an update a few days ago and now whenever I try to share a folder on my computer I get the following error....
'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Access denied.

Here are a couple of snapshots while trying to share a folder....
I have never had this issue before on Ubuntu 12.04 until an update sometime last week around maybe 04/18/16.
This issue started happening on two different computers, both running Ubuntu 12.04.
Let me know if there is a way to fix this, or do I need to wait for an update.
Thanks
