We have a Debian server running Samba 3.0.14a.
2 days ago this problem started in that we cannot view the contents of a
Samba share.
I can map a drive to a samba share and authenticate with no errors.
After authentication it just shows an empty directory on a Windows client?
I have tried numerous troubleshooting measures, such as increasing file
perms to world readable but have been unsuccessful.
On the server I have also used the smbclient command line utility and it
yields the same empty directory listing except it allows me to do one
extra thing. I can change directory to a folder even through i can't see
it!. For example I have samba share (/home/will ) with a test folder in
it. Although I can't see it I can change directory into it but it's
contents are blank as well (this is the same for all samba shares).
I have bumped up the logging to level 5 and have combed through the
exhaustive debugging information and there are no errors.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what would cause these weird problems?
See me smb.conf file below:
thanks
