Usershares does not work with latest samba version. All configured ok, worked with 3.5.9, with 3.6.0 it does not work. All the options are greyed out. If i manually add the share (in a textfile) in /var/lib/samba/usershares/, it is shared, so it is not a samba issue. Also, if I use net usershare add/delete, it works fine.
I can't reproduce this. $ rpm -q samba samba-3.6.0-alt1 > All the options are greyed out. There should be some additional message if something goes wrong. Are you sure that smb and nmb services is up? > Also, if I use net usershare add/delete, it works fine. Very strange, thunar's plugin just uses the same commands, there are no any other magic.

I also tried giving 777 to /var/lib/samba/usershares Also, with nautilus-share it works.
