System-Config-Samba Crashing

[skathrein]

System-Config-Samba is crashing every time I try to run it. I've tried reinstalling both it and samba itself but that doesn't help. Has anyone else had this problem or found a solution?
Thanks.

I have the same problem
here is the console output

cosku@cosku-desktop:~$ gksu system-config-samba
File "/usr/sbin/system-config-samba", line 41, in <module> mainWindow.MainWindow(debug_flag)
File "/usr/share/system-config-samba/mainWindow.py", line 118, in __init__ self.basic_preferences_win = basicPreferencesWin.BasicPreferencesWin(self, self.xml, self.samba_data, self.samba_backend, self.main_window)

Hello

Identical problem here, Hardy Heron 8.04. Already re-installed Samba - no avail, it crashes each time i open it.

Best regards....

Same effect here, different buggy lines though.

Sent crash reports.

Samba sharing works just fine though.

launchpad had the solution

 sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf
