and tried whitelisting suggestion and disabling apparmor…

~ sudo systemctl stop apparmor 

I’m just trying to share a folder in home directory: clicking in Dolphin and in cli.

~ net usershare add share /home/me/share comment Everyone:R guest_ok=y
net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The transport connection is now disconnected..

Stopping apparmor is not enough, you need to disable it (systemctl disable apparmor) and then restart computer.

I see you said that up there. Thanks for checking back, it works.

I’m curious to see where this is at. I ran into it today and the only way to get around it was to disable apparmor.

You could put apparmor in complain mode:

sudo aa-complain /usr/bin/smbd

sudo aa-complain samba-dcerpcd samba-bgqd samba-rpcd samba-rpcd-classic samba-rpcd-spoolss

reboot and check status with sudo aa-status

Check out the section on apparmor here:

Yep, that seem to do it. Thank you again and take care.
