Hi all,
I am having a real bizarre problem with Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8. I have
set up the smb.conf to share all user's home folders, and want to ensure
that all dot files are visible. The problem I am having is that the dot
files all appear except for one specific one (which happens to be the exact
file that is needed!). I can see it when I telnet, but not using Samba.
The dot file is a link, which is referred to by other links in the share. I
have ensured that follow symlinks = yes and wide links = yes are set.
Here's the really wierd part. In one of the shares, everything works fine!
I can see all the right files, but in the rest that one dot file is missing.
The share that works is the jahaley share, none of the others are showing
the right files.
Please help!
Jeff Pleau

Via telnet you see the link entry, but are you able to access this link as user jpleau? Or: What show ls -l <FileWhichIsLinkedTo>. Are this readable by all listed users? As i understood right, samba will resolve the link, if this fail, the entry should not listed.> > Jeff Pleau > > Here is a dump of my config from testparm: > > Load smb config files from /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf >[schnipp]> # Global parameters > [global] > strip dot = No > case sensitive = No > preserve case = Yes > hide dot files = Yes > hide unreadable = No > delete veto files = No > veto files > hide files [schnapp]Mfg Frank. -- Frank Matthie? fm@Microdata-pos.de
I forward this mail to the originating samba mailing list, so in the future others get a chance to solve this problem by reading the mailing list archive. ;-) Please send all your mails concerning to a mailing list to that list. It's important for all to see, how this problem was solved. And, for sure, it's a nice feedback. -- Frank Matthie? fm@Microdata-pos.de -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
