Comment 5 for bug 407297

I downloaded karmic alpha4 and installed samba as well as samba-common-bin and created the usershare using nautilus.

I can not access the share from my windows system, /var/log/samba/log.windowsmachine is full of:

process_usershare_file: sttat of /var/lib/samba/usershare/foo failed. Permission denied

I doubel checked, /var/lib/samba/usershare/foo is o+r so it seems the feature is more broken so I can't test if it is still crashing.
I'll retry with updated karmic shortly.
