Hello,
I have a strange problem here, we have 4 samba servers plus a PDC with samba and
openldap as backend.
Users are organized in groups and we give group ACLs to directories to grant
access. This worked until
a few weeks ago, when we upgraded from Debian Sarge to Etch.
Since then samba seems to forget ACLs sometimes. This is almost not
reproducible. Users who have normally access
to a particular directories are saying "I cant't see the directory in
Windows Exxplorer anymore".
I check the ACL then and everythis is okay, Windows reports "full
Access" for this user,
but he can't see nor enter the directory in Windows explorer. Strange
enough: In Windows
cmd console he can enter the directory.
I could reproduce (sort of) this error with smbclient, it looks like this:
smb: \> ls test2
NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_FILE listing \test2
58028 blocks of size 4194304. 34997 blocks available
smb: \> cd test2
smb: \test2\> ls
. D 0 Tue Jun 5 10:26:16 2007
.. D 0 Tue Jun 5 10:27:40 2007
We have, as I said, Debian Etch with package sernet-samba 3.0.23b-13, Linux
Kernel
2.6.15-28-686 on the servers (from Ubuntu LTS, since Kaspersky Antivirus
won't work with the
standard Etch Kernel), ext3 file system with ACL option. On the PDC kernel
2.6.18-4-686 is running.
Can anyone explain that strange behaviour?
Regards,
Henry
