samba - Apr 2006 - Samba+Ldap: Properties Dialog doesn't show owner, only groups, shares have R attribute set

Hi all,

I have a samba PDC on linux (kernel 2.6.16-gentoo-r3, amd64, 2cpu's, samba
3.0.22). My
passdb backend is an ldap-server on a different machine. I did an update from a
slower
machine.

The configuration files on the old and new machines are equal. After the update
all seems to be OK. I can login on the windows-clients and access the shares on
the
server. But a closer look shows that the file properties dialog on a windows
machine
doesn't show the user, who ownes the file in the xfs-filesystem on the samba
server (on
the old machine it worked). The domain groups are shown correctly.

Also all directories on a samba share have the R attribute set and some
applications say
that the share is read only. But i can create, copy and delete files on the
share with
explorer.

I googled a lot, but I couldn't find informations which solves the problem
or give me more
informations what the reasons for the problem are. It seems that the
windows-clients
doesn't know the domain users. Have anyone ever seen this problem.

thnx a lot
andy

Hi all,

on a redirected home share into "My Documents" I have to hit F5 under
XP
refreshing the screen to see a newly created or modified file:

[homes]
   comment = Home Directories
   valid users = %S
   writeable = Yes
   browseable = No
   nt acl support = No
   create mask = 0644

On any other share like

[shared]
   comment = Shared Folder
   valid users = @bla
   path = /export/data/shared
   read only = No
   force create mode = 0775
   force directory mode = 0775
   browseable = Yes
   force group = bla
   inherit acls = Yes

it works perfect. So why? I've searched the net for it and it seems to 
be a known problem, but without any solution. This issue occured on 
either 3.0.14 and 3.0.22.

Any hint?

Thanks in advance
markus

Andreas,

I have the same problem using Gentoo 2.6.15-gentoo-r5, amd64, single
core CPU, Samba 3.0.22 with LDAP backend hosted on the same machine.
This is a fresh build.

Thread is above: "Unable to reset file permissions".
