            Bug ID: 463066
           Summary: Creating a share via GUI is not possible
    Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
           Product: kdenetwork-filesharing
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: schM0ggi at web.de
                CC: sitter at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Trying to create a share via Dolphin with the help of the
kdenetwork-filesharing plugin does not work.

The "Share" tab is visible in the properties of the file/directory and it's
asking to create a Samba user/set a Samba password. But setting a Samba
password in the following dialogue has no effect and it returns back to that
dialogue. 

How it looks:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install kdenetwork-filesharing plugin 
2. install samba-usershares package
3. add your user to the group "usershares", which was created via the
"samba-usershares" package
4. restart
5. create a directory in your home directory
6. set the right SELinux context for the share
sudo semanage fcontext --add --type "samba_share_t"
"/home/my_user_name/name_of_directory(/.*)?"
sudo restorecon -R ~/name_of_directory
7. open properties of the directory. Go to "Share" tab and try to create a
share.

OBSERVED RESULT
There is a button to create/set a Samba user/password. After typing in the
password in the following dialogue, a sudo privilge dialogue appears. After
typing in the user password for sudo, it returns back to the "Set Samba
password" dialogue. Nothing further happens. You can close the window but
nothing changes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Be able to create a share.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 37 KDE Spin , everything is up to date

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As seen here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2096405 and here
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/109

there exists a "samba-usershares" package in the Fedora repo which creates the
directory "/var/lib/samba/usershares" and a "/etc/samba/usershares.conf" file. 

The "/etc/samba/smb.conf" file has the following line:

which includes, as I understand, the additional configuration from
"/etc/samba/usershares.conf", created by the samba-usershares package. The
"/etc/samba/usershares.conf" file holds this:
