samba - Jun 2004 - Chaning shares using Computer Management with W2k3.

I'm trying to change permissions and add shares and remove shares etc.. on
my
Samba-hosts shares (running 3.0.4 on Fedora, using the Computer
Management-tool on Windows Server 2003.
I have set security = ads on the samba host and I've joined the host to the
Active Directory Server (the same machine as the one I'm running the
Computer
Management-tool on).
However, I seem to get "Access is denied" all the time. After some
googling
and some reading in several howto's I think it must be that I dont have any
scripts for adding, removing and changing shares, set up.
Could this be the problem?

I know how to set these in smb.conf, though I dont know where to get them.
Does anyone know where I can find good example of such scripts?

Regards,
Mattias

Correct.  You have to write the 'addshare command' program.
There's a sample in example/misc/modify_share_command.pl

And you have to be connected as a root user.

I tried to upgrade our Solaris 7  Sun E450 PDC from Samba 2.2.8 to Samba 3.0.2a
recently.
We are running Windows 2000 desktops. Most of our users connect via our LAN ,
however
a significant group of users are connecting over our WAN - by a variety of
methods , including
ISDN and BT-NetEquip ( 512k/2MB line ).

After the upgrade all of the users on the LAN were able to reach there network
resources via Samba
consistently without problems. Initially , all of the users connecting via the
WAN were also able
to get to all there network resources , but we consistently found that after
approximately 2 to
3 hours they all lost there network resources. Attempts by WAN users to log back
on again
failed. When running the login script , the error code 53 was frequently seen.
Restarting the
Samba daemons on the PDC fixed the problem , but this is hardly a feasible
solution on a
production PDC. In the end , I had to fall back to running 2.2.8.

Can anybody out there help me please ?

Thanks in advance
