I've got an ugly problem... hope somebody can help: I upgraded from Samba 2.2.5a to 2.2.7a yesterday (SuSE RPM update). Since then, all connected Windows computers show strange behaviour: Depending on the computer, only a few selected users can log in - but the users able to log in change from computer to computer. None of them have any local accounts on the machines in question, just the global Samba-managed Domain account. Additionally, on some machines I can log in as 'Administrator' (being an alias for the Linux-side account 'root', defined in smbusers) whereas on most other machines I need to log in as 'root'. Any suggestions where I should look or how I could debug this problem? Setting the debuglevel to 10 and trying to log in just floods me with messages I don't quite understand. Only real difference between successful logins and unsuccessful logins is that for the unsuccessful logins there's never a line saying 'smb_password_ok: Checking SMB password for user <user>' This line only shows up in the logs for successful logins. I'm grateful for any kind of help Andre Meiske PS: After I temporarily downgraded back to 2.2.5a, the problem remained, and even a self-compiled Samba 2.2.7a shows the same strange behaviour, so I think it's a configuration setting - I just can't find anything.
Hi, Why is it that when asking "whats create mode 777" gets an answer which with a simple google search or reading Unix basics coulda been answered anyways. But my smbmount Q which is not answered? So once again, Is there a way to use smbmount so as to inherit the perms set forth by the remote file server? I'd rather not use the options of; - guest - credentials file as the file system that I'd like to mount has many diff uids/gids set. SMB is a better choice than NFS for many reasons, especially for the fact that its user based and not kernal based so if you're gonna say use NFS, please don't :).
