I have the following Problem, include doesn't seem to work very well, its VERY intermitantly. The files are attached below along with an smbclient output. Basically I am setting up a PUBLIC share, that if I connect to will give me admin access. It contains service packs and fixes, so when I install someones system, they can just click and connect, without being prompted for a password. However, it should in theory give me username: sjr access to that as admin. That would allow me to write, and to delete files there. I attached a %u to the comment, and it shows the correct user name, and the file exists, I've checked and rechecked. I tried both %U and %u. If I set the file to be included forcefully and statically it works otherwise no. Basically the comment should tell me that its working perfectly it should change, but it doesn't. I'm using Samba 3.0 Final, from Debian Packages. Any idea. ============================smb.conf=================================[data] browseable = yes path = /data public = yes writeable = no force create mode = 644 force directory mode = 755 force user = pub guest ok = yes guest account = pub force group = pub comment = Public Data Drive %U include = /etc/samba/%U ==========================/etc/samba/sjr=============================== force user = sjr writeable = yes comment = Adminstrative Access: Public Data Drive ===================== smbclient output ==========================fermat:/home/sjr# smbclient -L 192.168.0.5 -U sjr added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password:password Domain=[SJRX.NET] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.0-Debian] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- data Disk Public Data Drive sjr IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Duron 900, 512 MB RAM, 100 Mb/s Connegction, Running Debian UNstable 3.0r1 and Samba: 3.0.0-Debian) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Duron 900, 512 MB RAM, 100 Mb/s Connegction, Running Debian UNstable 3.0r1 and Samba: 3.0.0-Debian) sjr Disk Home Directories Server Comment --------- ------- GAUSS TURING Duron 900, 512 MB RAM, 100 Mb/s Connegction, Run Workgroup Master --------- ------- SJRX.NET GAUSS
