Bug Description

When I run the command shares-admin to configure samba, the window that comes up continually asks me to install the required services. When I tell it to install samba, the window asking me to install the required services comes right back up. Even though samba is installed, it does not realize it. If you hit cancel, it will only let you share via nfs. There is still no samba option.

Don't bother providing this information, this bug is already known and has a fix in the lucid-proposed repository, which should be soon uploaded to lucid-updates.
