Hi I've got a samba PDC (samba 2.2.3a, RH 7.2, kernel 2.4.17, client is WinXP pro). I have a question about the homedrives-part in smb.conf. Are the homedrive shares set up to allow access exclusively to the appropriate user and no-one else ? My smb.conf looks like that [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 write list = @adm,alex # If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user ; map to guest = bad user I have a samba user called alex which I added to the Doamin adm group. Now I wanna be able to see all user's homedrives when logged on as this user but I can't. When I log on to samba as alex and try to map to the homedrive of a user called emily I get a logon prompt and the log file says this : [2002/03/03 18:54:10, 3] lib/access.c:check_access(310) check_access: no hostnames in host allow/deny list. [2002/03/03 18:54:10, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(319) Allowed connection from (192.168.0.2) [2002/03/03 18:54:10, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection(328) Invalid username/password for emily [alex] [2002/03/03 18:54:10, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(99) error packet at smbd/reply.c(167) cmd=117 (SMBtconX) NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD and the Windows client complains : \\server\share is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator..bla..bla Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed..ba.bla smb.conf says : domain admin group = @adm,@alex admin users = root,alex and whenever I use samba as alex the log says [2002/03/03 19:20:05, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(381) alex logged in as admin user (root privileges) doesn't this mean that I am the domain admin just like in an NT domain where I can access all shares ? I also made sure I have the right UNIX-permissions on /home/emily on the samba box. Any advice would be great. Thx Alex
