This patch should fix the issue, but after testing I've noticed, that this
patch doesn't help (I don't know why, it seems more debugging is needed).

Initial user is added to all administrative groups, like admin, dip, adm,
so, why we should to forbid file sharing for user with all administrative
rights? You can see how many people meets simmilar problem at bug #212098

Default Ubuntu-Desktop CD doesn't have samba package included, so, there
are no sambashare group in Ubuntu CD, but several Ubuntu-based distributions
include samba as default and in these distros there is sambashare group,
adding initial user to this group would solve bug #212098 for such distros.
