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.
Which version of system-config-samba is this?
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.
Please check whether the version in updates-testing, system-config-samba-1.2.51-1.fc7, fixes this.
I installed that update and it fixed the problem for me.

(In reply to comment #4) > I installed that update and it fixed the problem for me. I'm pushing that one to stable then. Thanks for testing. (In reply to comment #5) > PS: my hardware is i386, not PowerPC It shouldn't matter, system-config-samba is a noarch package.
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.
