Hi, I confirm this bug on my mga4 for x86_64 (full KDE). The package must be involved is draksambashare. mcc -> Network Sharing -> Share drives and directories...... -> tab Samba Users -> click on Add button and try to add an user or your user system. It is impossible because box (user nama) remains grayed out. I can also confirm with the mga4-beta2 it still worked.

In case anyone hitting this bug isn't aware, you can add a samba user in a root terminal using: smbpasswd -a username where username is the name of the user that is to be added. See "man smbpasswd" for details.
OK, that's a valid workaround. But there's no explanation so far why the add user button is greyed out for some users, and working for others :/

I confirm this bug, i installed Mageia 4 on 2 different pc's and only root is possible, please fix this. I use mageia first of all because of the ease of sharing folders on the network, wich don't really apply now :) Thank you

I can also confirm this bug. I'm not sure why the status of this bug report has been "new" for several months now.

I have the same bug on Mageia 5 beta 3. Impossiblity to create a user with draksambashare. If you choose Add, there is no user in the select List. If I first create the user in Konsole with "smbpasswd -a", the user is in the select list. Regard's
