Hi everyone.
I have a problem which I've spent many hours on and now I must turn to the
Samba community for help. Here's the setup:
-Samba 2.0.10 on RedHat 7.1 (Pentium III 933, 384Mb RAM, 100Gb HDD [40/60])
-Windows 2000 Professional client, SP2
-Windows 95b client
-Users of both Win2k and Win95 machines are mapped to user "aslan" on
Samba
box, with no forcing enabled.
Here's the problem:
-The Win2k machine can create folders and files, but after getting
properties of a file that has been created in that folder, the folder
cannot be deleted. The file is deleted, but not the folder. The error
message reports there has been a sharing violation. However, the Win95
machine can do anything within it's access rights. Creating directories,
files and getting properties of these things all works. Also, if I don't
bring up the properties of the file on the Win2k machine, the files and
directories can be deleted.
-If I create a folder from the Win2k machine, then create a file in that
directory, bring up the properties and close them, then go back and try
deleting that directory, it fails. But I can then delete that directory
from the Win95 machine.
-On looking at the log files, it appears that access from the Win2k machine
is falling back to user "nobody", and I have no idea why.
I also tried the "force directory security mode" option and all the
related
options, with no success. "nt acl support" is on by default, so I
tried
turning that off and it made no difference (besides the fact that the
"Security" tab didn't show up in Win2k any more). I've tried
SP1 and SP2 on
the Win2k machine, both giving the same results. The last thing I tried was
to install Samba 2.2.2-20011013, and that didn't even work. Following are
the relevant lines from smb.conf:
[TestNT]
comment = Testing stuff
path = /sambatest
read only = No
force security mode = 0777
directory mask = 0771
force directory mode = 0771
force directory security mode = 0777
inherit permissions = Yes
delete readonly = Yes
dos filemode = Yes
Am I just doing something really stupid, or is there a known problem with
this? I've just tried deleting the directories I made in the above share
last night, and I was able to delete them - but I've re-booted this Win2k
machine a few times since then. But trying to create new directories and
files just now is giving the same results as explained above. Any help
whatsoever on this matter would be highly appreciated!
