[Samba] problem with valid users parameter
Hi all, I have a samba + ldap setup which works fine, but a have a problem with the valid users parameter in my shares. The problem is that I have a group which includes blanks (Domain Users) samba does not seem to like blanks in group names. If a try to do the following from my win2k box. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net use * \\<IP>\common /user:<Domain>\ <User> * Type the password for \\<IP>\common: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> In the logfiles for the machine there are trying to access the share i get [2004/08/04 11:24:25, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(118) error packet at smbd/reply.c(389) cmd=117 (SMBtconX) NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED This is coursed by the valid users = +Domain Users If I change the group name to DomainUsers (the same name, just without the blank), and make the similar changes in my ldap tree, it all works as it suppose to. I have tried following: valid users = +Domain Users valid users = +"Domain Users" valid users = +'Domain Users' My question is now: is it possible to use blanks in group names, if so, how do I quote / escape it? Kind regards Kim
