I have still no idea about what to do with problem described below. I have confirmed this with another Fedora 12 installation. It was new clean system and I only yum-installed samba and set up remote password server. Is there any easy way to see from Windows side what information system gets from user account? Some kind on full-dump or query-all utility, something little easier than tcpdumping whole net traffic. -- Jori M?ntysalo ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Subject: Win7: Older user accounts works I got very strange behavior: Server A has local passwords (made with smbpasswd -a) and it also use password from other server: security = server password server = b.domain.example passdb backend = tdbsam With OLDER user accounts everything works. With WIN-XP everything works. With CMD-PROMPT everything works. With LOCAL PASSWORDS everything works. With PERMISSIONS TO GROUP everything works. I can map home directory to drive letter (say, O:). When I doubleclick it, it says "access denied", if I use newer user account, use Win7, use passwords from remote server, and home directory has permissions only for user. At same time I can open cmd-prompt and say "dir o:" and it works. If permissions are like this drwx------ 8 majahu majahu 4096 2010-02-18 13:06 /home/majahu I got access denied, but it works if they are drwxrwx--- 8 majahu majahu 4096 2010-02-18 13:06 /home/majahu So what is going on? There is exact combination of 5 things that makes this bug visible. There must be something wrong with newer user accounts. I have confirmed 3 working account and 3 not working; it might be that older accounts have been made with older smbpasswd-file and later converted to .tdb. I have tdbdumped passwords.tdb, but have no idea what to look for. -- Jori M?ntysalo
