So I'm trying to set up Samba shares on Plasma and running into some issues. To start, I'm new to Samba sharing, so this is interesting, but I did follow the guide from the Help Center.
To start, I'm trying to primarily do this through the GUI with Dolphin by right-clicking the folder and then going to Share.
When I click the directory, Properties, Share, and the box for sharing the directory, I was met with this error net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The transport connection is now disconnected.
I couldn't find much on the Help Center or forums for this, so I turned to the interwebs. After some research I've modified my /etc/samba/smb.conf
to look like this:
`usershare owner only = false
client ipc signing = auto
comment = Solus-Packaing Shared Directory
path = /home/bruce/Solus-Packaging
valid users = bruce Everyone
public = yes
writable = yes
end`
Restarted Samba services and now the error I receive is Samba internals report:
net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. {Access Denied} A process has requested access to an object but has not been granted those access rights.
Having never set up Samba before, I tried to stick primarily to the information here and on the Help Center, but still having some issues. Any guidance would be appreciated.
