hi to everyone, I've tried yesterday to migrate from an NT4 server to a Samba3 server, but without success. I was using tdbsam for storing the accounts. Unfortunately it didn't work as expected and so, I put everything as it was before. All works fine: shares, authentication (done through winbind) and printers. The only snag is that on the shares provided by Samba3, there are some (apparently) random displayed username as file owner. On the filesystem, everything is set fine and the share work as expected in relation to the permissions set. But on the Security view of the Properties dialog there are simply some user listed, e.g. ldap, www, bin etc. Can somebody explain me what happens? Best regards, Daniel p.s.: here is a snippet of my smb.conf <smb-conf-snippet> [global] workgroup = DOMAIN username map = /etc/samba/smbusers map to guest = Bad User logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: passdb backend = smbpasswd domain logons = no local master = yes wins server = 192.168.100.1 wins support = no netbios name = server04 add machine script preferred master = auto encrypt passwords = yes security = domain password server = * winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes winbind use default domain = yes template homedir = /home/%U template shell = /bin/false hosts allow = 192.168.100. 127.0.0.1 server string = %L ...
