Hi, Thank you for your report. A few personal thoughts about this problem:
1) I don't agree that "shares-conf" should warn it has no current permission in that directory. Share configuration and filesystem permission configuration should be independent, and that should be clear to the user - else it would confuse them, IMO. So later if he wants to change the permission for the filesystem, he would just go to the filesystem and change it's permission (in this case, in fstab). 2) An experienced could read the logs, I guess 3) The default permission configured by the installer is secure and it would be better to keep it that way. I'm changing the package this bug refers to from "samba" to "system- tools-backends", whch provides the dialog for configuring samba shares. Also tagging as whishlist.
