Description Anders Juel Jensen 2006-02-23 17:56:32 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.4.5  
OS:                Linux

1) Open Konq as filemanager.
2) Right-click on any given folder in your home dir.
3) Select properties.
4) Click the "Share" tab.

At this point it will bug you with "You need to be authorized to share folders", *regardles* of the permissions set on /etc/samba/smb.conf.

Proof:
$ ls -l /etc/samba/smb.conf
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root users

$ groups
users disk audio video cdrom console macavity

I am *not* a C++ hacker, but i have tracked this to line 177 in kdelibs-3.5.1/kio/kfile/kfilesharedlg.cpp which says:

"case KFileShare::UserNotAllowed:"

and then it displays the button to press to enter the root-password.

That is, this is just the place in which the actual bug is triggerd, but the odd thing is that i cant find any other instances of KFileShare::UserNotAllowed in all of kdelibs, so i gave up investigating it further.

I cannot reproduce, it all works OK for me. If my user annma is member of users and if I set smb as mentioned via KControl, all annma-owned folders don't need root password to be shared.

Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.

Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.47.
