(Get the code!)
It is absolutely necessary to synchronize samba user and system user !
Because the "share folder" dialog can't work if the user don't do the "smbpasswd -a" in console !!!
It is totally NOT user friendly
If the sync is a problem, why not asking an user/pass for SMB when using the "share folder" dialog ???
How can something like that stay for a distribution like Ubuntu which is supposed to be a Desktop distro !!?
A normal user will use the share dialog, add a folder an test to access to it from another computer, of course it won't work because nothing tells him to do a smbpasswd -a.
Result: He will think only one thing : "ubuntu sucks", just because of a so little fix to do hasn't be done (asking a password or sync with system account when adding a folder)...
