Just confirming. I had to do 'sudo smbpasswd jonathan' and then was able to connect from my iMac. It seems like it wouldn't quite fit to put the user smb passwd set button in the shared folders box, but it *is* the best place from a likely workflow point of view. Maybe a [Users] button could be placed at the bottom right to allow setting the smbpasswd for any particular user. Is it actually possible for samba to pick up the same authentication i.e. password for a user when it is activated? (on a standalone machine, rather than a domain, in the most basic case) Or is it always going to be necessary to run smbpasswd for each user to be permitted access to share? ** Attachment added: "Users button in Shared Folders Dialog" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7748262/SharedFoldersDlg.jpg -- When setting up a simple file share you are unable to access the share from a Windows machine, while the samba server has no password set. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103708 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
