So we all know that Nemo has this nice little feature, that automatically installs samba, makes samba firewall rules, and adds user to sambashare.
However, this isn't enough for samba to work, because one needs to manually execute sudo smbpasswd -a your_username in order to finalize the samba setup and make the shared folders accessible (currently, when you try to reach your share folder, it prompts you for your password, and nothing happens, but it keeps asking pw over and over again in a loop, because smbpasswd is not set up)
So in order to create a better user experience, and a true one-click setup, I'd suggest of extending this automated tool by adding the current user to smbpasswd, so that newcomers or non tech savvy users would have a better out of the box experience.
