Hey List- I've got an interesting problem :) Network Description: W2K server is PDC FreeBSD samba is domain member server using winbind to grab user / group info wbinfo et all work just fine clients: mix of W2K, XP and OS X my smb.cnf file: # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DOM netbios name = DOMSERVER #server string = Samba %v on %L server string security = DOMAIN password server = DOMAINSERVER encrypt passwords = yes printcap name = cups disable spoolss = Yes show add printer wizard = No idmap uid = 15000-20000 idmap gid = 15000-20000 winbind use default domain = Yes printing = cups guest ok = no follow symlinks = no case sensitive = no #SHARES #domainshare: sharename webdata and files [domainshare] path = /data/shares/domshares/sharename writeable = yes create mode = 6770 force create mode = 6770 directory mode = 6770 force directory mode = 6770 valid users = @DOM\DOMUSERS admin users = "@DOM\Domain Admins" The problem: All users which are in the DOMSALESUSERS and the DOMUSERS group can get access to the domainshare, but users who are just in the DOMUSERS group can't. Yes, I double checked that the valid users isn't set to DOMSALESUSERS :) I checked the file permissions and they're set to the domusers group. The OS doesn't matter for the access, just the if the users aren't in the DOMSALESUSERS group they can't get in. I did try mounting from my FreeBSD laptop as one of the standard users and it let's me mount, but gives me an access denied when doing a ls . As soon as I add the user to the DOMSALESUSERS then they can see the share fine. I'm confused :) Ideas? Thanks in advance.
