Dear list, We are experiencing users unexpectedly accessing each others files. It happens when they try to access files that are called the same and which is located in an equal file structure under their login drive. Two other conditions need to be fulfilled: one of the users needs to have the file locked and both users needs to be logged into the same Citrix server(windows-2000). For instance if userA uses Outlook to open a PST file located here: L:\user.pst and userB tries to open L:\user.pst, it fails for userB even though the file L:\user.pst are different files since L: is the login drive for the user. The login drive is defined in smb.conf as: [user$] comment = Users home directory (L:) path = /pcstorage/%G/users/%U read only = No inherit permissions = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 "user$" is referred to in the user profile on the NT PDC(\\pcserver\user$). %G resolves to the primary UNIX group that the user belongs to and %U resolves to the UNIX user ID. The file structure on the UNIX server is layed out as this: /storage1/department1/users/user1 /storage1/department1/users/user2 /storage1/department1/users/user3 . . /storage1/department2/users/user1 /storage1/department2/users/user2 /storage1/department2/users/user3 etc. This setup has been working fine for some time now, but suddenly we found out that some files in the users personal area were overwritten by other users. The Outlook example above will not overwrite, but is an easy test to prove the described functionality. The question is: Is this a bug or is our Samba setup misconfigured ? We run Samba-2.2.5 with ACL support and winbind on Solaris-8. Below is our smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = DOMAIN1 netbios name = storage1 netbios aliases = pcstorage interfaces = ge0 79.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 193.167.89.0/255.255.255.0 security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = dc01, dc02, mailsrv wins server = 79.17.7.1 # # User that have all rights on all shares regardless of the permissions: # admin users = DOMAIN1+hbr,DOMAIN1+rbh log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 100 local master = No deadtime = 180 username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map # separate domain and username with '+', like DOMAIN+username winbind separator = + winbind cache time = 3600 # use uids from 10000 to 20000 for domain users winbind uid = 10000-20000 # use gids from 10000 to 20000 for domain groups winbind gid = 10000-20000 # allow enumeration of winbind users and groups winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes client code page = 850 character set = ISO8859-1 valid chars = ?:? [user$] comment = Users home directory (L:) path = /pcstorage/%G/users/%U read only = No inherit permissions = Yes create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 . . . Rest of the drives... I hope some of you have been in the same situation or can tell me what is wrong. Thanks very much in advance.
