Hi I have got Samba 3.0.20 installed on two AIX servers, one running 5.2 and one running 5.3. I only get a core dump when manipulating users on the 5.3 machine ? The code install is actually an exact copy that I tarred up and transferred over. I actually seem to get a lot of errors on the 5.3 server that I don't on the 5.2. Any ideas ? My other, and main problem, is setting up a remote open share. I am using security=share and want to set-up a public place for another office to place and retrieve documents. The other office is in a geographically different area and is hence on a different sub-net. I have messed with the force user/group option, but have only got it to open the share once, and never since. This is a pretty basic set-up and I don't really want to use user access to make it as simple as possible for the remote users. Please help Cheers Dave # Global parameters [global] workgroup = SSGROUP server string = Samba 3.0.4.0 security = USER smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd log file = /usr/local/samba/sambalog/log.%m os level = 0 preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No ldap ssl = no hosts allow = 10.80., 10.82., 128.1.0.0/16 mangle case = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /usr/spool/samba read only = No create mask = 0700 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes use client driver = Yes browseable = No [tmp] path = /tmp guest ok = Yes [code] path = /rapiddb/code read only = No guest ok = Yes [HPWS-shared] path = /rapiddb/code/live/HPWS-shared force user = rapidl force group = progress read only = No guest ok = Yes browseable = Yes ##################################################################################### Attention: The information contained in this message and or attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
