Greetings, I recently created a Samba (v3.0.14a-2) server on a Fedora CORE box (v2.6.14-1.1653-FC4). In a samba log file on the server I am getting a "Couldn't find group" error. On my client, I am getting "system error 2220 has occurred" "the group name could not be found". The problem seems to be this entry in my "smb.conf" force group +xuser ...excerpt from smb.conf follows... [lotus] comment = Lotus path = /apps/lotusdir browseable = yes force create mode = 0774 ;see pg184 of samba manual force directory mode = 0774 ;see pg184 of samba manual create mask = 0774 ;see pg184 of samba manual directory mask = 0774 force group = +xuser ;see pg183 of samba manual public = no valid users = @xuser write list = @xuser writeable = yes For years, I've been using this smb.conf file (with a few minor changes) with an earlier version of Samba and Linux, with no problems. I've tested this problem with an XP client and also a Win98 client. Both clients have problems. I set the debug level to "3" and was getting NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_GROUP errors. Please help -thanks
