but I have no such group in Yast. Has it been removed?

better question: Was it ever there? *** in openSUSE

I don't have "fileshare" in 11.2, 12.1, 12.2 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan

More importantly, if this is some documentation reference, what document and where in the document are you referring to? Throwing out a sentence and not giving proper context doesn't move this question forward.

The context is as follows: an utility "fileshareset" is boundled in openSUSE in the kdebase3 package. It is not a part of KDE3, but an openSUSE-specific addition.

I was trying to determine whether this component is needed and working or should be removed. Calling it from a command line returns:

You are not authorised to use fileshare'ing To grant you the rights: - put "RESTRICT=no" in /etc/security/fileshare.conf - or get membership of group: fileshare

It means become a member of a group called fileshare, and if it does not exist create it and add the appropriate people to the group.

I wonder does it mean the component is useless.
