Reproduced on current hardy.
The problem is that the user gets added to the sambashare group, but the
group membership won't be refreshed until the user logs out and back in.
It's not really a samba problem, it's more a problem in the design of
that nautilus "Sharing Options" dialog box. It should
could you please paste the output of:
lsb_release -a
apt-cache policy samba
I think there is a problem here, it is most likely that you could avoid
rebooting by running in a terminal:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
so that the cjanges in smb.conf are picked up by the samba server
daemon.
