Comment 3 for bug 695256

/var/lib/samba and /var/cache/samba exist and are populated

here is my smb.conf:

[global]
# Browsing/Identification #
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
# Debugging/Accounting #
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
# Authentication #
encrypt passwords = true
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:*
%n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
pam password change = yes
map to guest = bad user
# Misc #
usershare allow guests = yes
usershare owner only = False
# Share Definitions #
[nathanel]
path = /home/nathanel
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
[Dropbox]
path = /home/nathanel/Dropbox
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
[Disk]
path = /media/Disk
