Title:
  Creating public samba share in encrypted directory does not work and
  is confusing

Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus-share

  I have encrypted home directory. Sharing a folder in my home directory
  works, but only without guest access. If guest access is enabled, the
  share can not be mounted using GUI or guest account. Nautilus says
  "Unable to mount location" and something like error mouning windows
  shared folder (translated). Smbclient returns
  NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME when I try to login as guest or nobody.
  Smbclient works, when I use my username. With shares under another
  user with unencrypted home, everything works as expected.

  It'd be nice if it just worked.
  It'd be OK if "Guest access" was greyed out in encrypted directories and an explaination was displayed.

  Nautilus share should not allow users to create useless shares.

  I have reproduced it on two installations of 10.04 and now on 10.10. I
  just didn't figure out before, that it was related to encryption.
