Hi, I've got a strange problem. All users have 770 access to two shares. Their home directory is not used. There is a user jh working on the samba server, has access to all and suddenly he has no access at all. He can still see the two shares, but that's it.He doesn't get a permission denied. More something like 'couldn't find share, seek your administrator,.....". When I log out and back in the problem is solved, temporarely. I have a "samba.log.jh" log file => with error "couldn't find service jh". But when the troubles begin I also see sometimes writing to samba.log.nobody??????? Although I have "guest ok = no". Beneath are pieces of the log files.

Also something strange with oplock break????? Could this be it? Could someone explain me why samba is searching for service jh??? There is only a netlogon and 2 paths to other directories as services. Thanks.
