Samba program does not recognize my password

[michel]

Greetings,

I installed Samaba from the repos and at first it would not work. Now it will start on startup and request my administrative password. I enter my pass but I get the following message:

Failed to run system-config-samba as user root. 

When I go to console I can run the program with sudo.

Any ideas?

My only guess is it has something to do with root being disabled in kubuntu and upon request you're entering your password (user/sudo password). I can't help much past that though. Hopefully someone will know more.

I tried adding root and my user account to the samba group but with not change.

I deleted samba.conf, apt purged the application and then re-installed it and now It starts with Kubuntu and I just need to enter my password.
