Description Eric Wood 2007-09-09 21:20:13 UTC

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an initial Samba configuration using the GUI
2. Create a share for /home/<current username> (in my case, /home/ewood)
3. For me, it began after some days or system restarts. I think it made the
share correctly the first time, but somehow it disappeared and can't be remade.
4. Have Firestarter on and sharing an internet connection. I have SMB ports
open, and I am sharing a USB DSL connection with a local LAN via ethernet.
  
Actual results: I have no defined shares and cannot create any with the GUI. It
tries to create a share but the dialogue for the creation of a share will not
close after clicking "OK." The share will appear in the list, but after closing
the config app and relaunching, it is not there.


Expected results: Creation of a /home/ewood share that is accessible only to
Samba user ewood, is visible and writable.


Additional info: I also seem to have a problem with browsing smb shares on my
local network from within Gnome. I have not tested any other desktop
environments. I have no shares on the Linux host that will show up for other smb
clients, and I cannot see any other shares.

Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2007-09-10 06:45:57 UTC

Which version of system-config-samba is this?

Comment 2 Eric Wood 2007-09-11 15:18:26 UTC

Update for 9-11-07: Current version is 1.2.47-1. Now, it may be that adding a PC
sound card and using that instead of built-in audio has actually fixed the
issue. nmb and smb would not start before, whereas now they are running.
System-config-samba continues to err, however. I manually edited the config file
to create a share, and that now shows up in system-config-samba. I was able to
modify the share path for that. I still cannot add a share, however. Symptoms
remain the same.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2007-09-11 16:02:02 UTC

Please check whether the version in updates-testing,
system-config-samba-1.2.51-1.fc7, fixes this.

Comment 4 David Hislop 2007-09-16 23:48:08 UTC

I installed that update and it fixed the problem for me.

PS: my hardware is i386, not PowerPC

I'm pushing that one to stable then. Thanks for testing.

It shouldn't matter, system-config-samba is a noarch package.

Comment 7 Fedora Update System 2007-09-18 03:24:15 UTC

system-config-samba-1.2.52-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
