Okay, we're doing a bit of system revamping at my work since our last
file server crashed and burned in a horrible tragic failure (hard disk
died). Anyways, we've stepped it up a notch with some nice hardware
and the fileserver will be running linux (Redhat 9.0 currently).
Anyways, I'm currently running into an issue. (I'm using samba
2.2.7a-8.9.0 for reference).
Anyways, we have a new W2K box setup that is hosting the domain. Samba
has been setup to use the domain for authentication (security =
domain). Anyways, general shares, like the public shares and the home
directory shares seem to work without a problem. (For the home
directories, it seemed like I had to add the unix user / their
directory for the proper access to appear, but that makes sense since a
folder needs to exist to be shared).
However, I'm trying to setup some shared directories for each
"department" and restrict access to only them. Perhaps I am doing
this
wrong and someone can correct me with what's wrong. Anyways, all I did
was to add the "valid users" tag and I put in the username I was
using.
So the share in the smb.conf file was looking like this:
[Tech]
browseable = no
valid users = travman
writeable = yes
path = /home/groups/Tech
Obviously, I want the shares hidden, thus browseable is no. Am I
missing something in the setup? When I authenticate I do not get this
group to show up in the list.
I do get some interesting messages in the log files though. Here's the
one associated with my computer:
[2003/06/16 16:00:07, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1556)
domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for
domain MTC1
---------
the smbd.log file issues the following failure:
2003/06/16 16:00:07, 0]
smbd/oplock_linux.c:linux_init_kernel_oplocks(287)
Failed to setup RT_SIGNAL_LEASE handler
-------
Anyways, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate
it. I'm apprehensive in actually switching everyone to the new servers
until they are properly setup and tested.
Thanks!!!
