Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Nautilus has a plugin that lets you turn on Samba 'usershare', but that
is not configured by default.  When you go to share a directory for the
first time, it says that it's not enabled.  The package should contain
(IMO):

/var/lib/samba/usershares  owned by root:users, chmod ug=rwx,o=t
... and every newly created desktop user should be in group users... perhaps a 
special group should be created for it, your call.

That is the default setting for "usershare path".  I think that
"usershare deny list" should probably contain at least "/etc /dev /proc
/sys" by default.  (It is empty now.)  "usershare allow list" perhaps
should default to "/home".

Perhaps a "usershare template share" should also be set up by default,
as described in the SWAT help screens.

** Affects: samba (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
