Mates,
I have configured samba 100 times, but this time, I'm doing something
increadibly stupid that I just cannot see. Please HELP! I'm about to
jump......
Background,
Old samba sever (nemesis) being replaced with new one (bonza). Both are
up and operating. All networking is OK, Name resolution is fine, etc. The
problem is that all users can see all the shares on the new machine (bonza)
just fine. They can map and browse their home share, but *cannot* browse any
of the other shares. I on the other hand, as admin user, can connect and
browse the shares just fine. All users have unix accounts and entries in the
smbpasswd file. All access groups are set up. All users can run "net view
\\bonza" from the dos prompt and see all shares. The permissions of the
shares are:
[root@bonza samba]# ls -l
total 36
drw-rw---- 3 root bertin 4096 Aug 13 10:54 bertin/
drw-rw---- 8 root ochiltree 4096 Aug 11 23:58 closed/
drw-rw---- 4 root ochiltree 4096 Aug 13 10:47 computer/
drw-rw---- 34 root ochiltree 4096 Aug 15 22:52 forms/
drw-rw---- 3 root guillory 4096 Aug 13 10:54 guillory/
drw-rw---- 5 root ochiltree 4096 Aug 16 23:31 joint/
drw-rw---- 3 root ochiltree 4096 Aug 13 10:54 office/
drw-rw---- 3 root rankin 4096 Aug 13 10:54 rankin/
drw-rw---- 3 root ochiltree 4096 Mar 16 17:27 visionary/
Now, here is the problem I encounter with the smbclient test when attempting
to connect as another user:
[leah@Nemesis /home]$ smbclient -U% -L bonza

I've even set the share permissions as 0777 and still no joy. This is
killing me. I really can't see the forest for the trees. Can anybody see
what I'm doing stupidly wrong??? I have worked chapter 12 DIAGNOSIS in Using
Samba and I'm still stuck.
My smb.conf is shown below. Thank you for any help.
