Nautilus Share Problem

Hi Archers,

I need help to manage my Samba/Gnome/Nautilus "chain". that I've tryed to i

I've installed [in this order]

• samba

• gvfs-smb

• gnome-vfs

• nautilus-share-upstream

Now I can connect from my Arch desktop to all my house net machines [a Macintosh of my girlfriend, my Arch EEEPc and a hacked TV Tuner].

But here come the troubles: when I try to share a folder via right click in Nautilus, the system answer me:

«net usershare» runs into error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Pipe broken.

I've tried to follow best as I can the wiki instructions about installing samba and the other tools, but I'm totally new to Arch [first installation was two weeks ago] and I don't know what to try now.

I'd like to share on my home net the folder "Tana-di-Orso" with everyone at a guest level. People connected to my router should see, copy and create documents of the folder without the need of a password.
And it would be great if I could share new folders via right click.

This one is my smb.conf.

#======================= Global Settings =====================================
[global] 
include = /etc/samba/usershare.conf
workgroup = FORESTA
server string = Samba Server
security = share
load printers = yes
printing = cups
guest account = ospite
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
interfaces = lo wlan0
bind interfaces only = true
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[public]
path = /home/stormy/Tana-di-Orso
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no

Thanks in advance for every help.

Re: Nautilus Share Problem

Try changing [global] "security = share" to "security = user" and instead just pre-define allowed users with "valid users = johndoe" (change johndoe to your account ofc). If you still have issues, see basic config example on my wiki here http://wiki.gotux.net/config/samba
