SAMBA shares edit

[cedric.delfosse@…]

When a share is modified, it is removed and then re-added with the modified values. This means:

• any other share options added manually to smb.conf are lost
• when adding a share, we can't go on error when creating an already existing share directory because maybe we are just re-adding it (just editing it).

A function called modShare (or editShare) should be written to fix this.

I think it would be pretty ok, if you can create a share with an existing directory. To implement this we only need to catch the exception in addShare. try:

os.makedirs(path)

except OSError:

pass

An own modShare function would be also nice, which has the (optional) feature to modify the ACLs of the whole content.

[manuel.zach-oss@…]

modshare() should also address the following things:
- If the path of a share is changed, move share-directory to new location.
- Perhaps, modify the ACLs of the share content, if the ACLs of the share where changed.
