shares-admin problem

I have a problem with shares-admin application on Gnome. I've been install Samba through wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba), and install gnome-system-tools and nautilus-share package for easy share of my files. But Add and Unblock buttons of shares-admin don't be able to press. And on nautilus-share, "Share through" is disable to me.

Any ideas about this issue? Thanks in advance.

Re: shares-admin problem

Have you found a solution to this? Or has anyone else got any idea of what might be causing this?
I'm having the exact same problem. Shares-admin doesn't allow me to do anything (not even change the workgroup name) except for removing shared folders.
I can share folders with no problems by editing the smb.conf file (and other computer are able to access them - so samba is working), but I can't do it from nautilus nor can I view the shared folders of other computers.
It seems like this user has no access to samba... do I need to add this user to any group (it didn't use to be like this)?
I know it used to work some time ago, but since I rarely share new folders I can't tell what update caused it to stop working.

Re: shares-admin problem

Thank you lazork, for reply my thread.

I think which my problem is caused by policykit of Gnome. The Unlock button is grey in any administration tool. I don't know what I do, for my user can unlock the admin apps. This question has been discuss in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=59124
