I have set up my samba with winbind and it appears to be working fine. Altered the pam.d/system-auth file and it is creating the user directories. The issue I am running into is that if "biguser" logs in and goes to the server and then logs out of the W2K client and then user "david" logs in on the same client and goes to the server he sees shared directories or appears to see shared directories [biguser] and [david]. From my testing though it appears that he is actually only seeing david, because if I go to the share [biguser] I can create a file or directory and it appears in the share [david]. When I look in /home/user/david and /home/user/biguser though the files are only created in /home/user/david. If biguser then logs into the same client then the same thing appears to happen. I'm concerned that this may freak out some of the users and make them think that the server is unsecure and that users can access other users home directories. samba 3.0.10-1 smb.conf ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN netbios name = MBE_Data_Server server string = samba server security = DOMAIN password server = 192.168.5.1 192.168.5.2 obey pam restrictions = yes idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 template homedir = /home/users/%U template primary group = "Domain Users" template shell = /bin/bash winbind separator = + hosts allow = 192.168.5. 127. smb ports = 139 printcap name = /etc/printcap wins server = 192.168.5.1 load printers = yes vfs objects = extd_audit log file = /var/log/samba/%U.%m.log log level = 0 vfs:2 max log size = 50 # encrypt passwords = yes # smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd # socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 printer admin = MYDOMAIN+biguser root-clark biguser lpq cache time = 20 printing = CUPS printcap = CUPS dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/users/%U write list = MYDOMAIN+%U browseable = no [Special_Data] comment = MBE System A browseable = yes path = /MBEData/CURRENT_MBE/MBE1_Data read only = no valid users = MYDOMAIN+biguser,@"MYDOMAIN+Domain Users" write list = MYDOMAIN+biguser,MYDOMAIN+david read list = MYDOMAIN+biguser,@"MYDOMAIN+Domain Users" create mask = 0774 security mask = 0774 force security mode = 770 dos filetimes = yes directory mask = 2777 directory security mask = 0770 force directory security mode = 770 inherit permissions = yes writable = yes guest ok = no
