Environment: Fedora Core 5 with all updates, Samba 3.0.23c.
We have a share with a definition like:
[computerclub]
path = /home/D13/computerclub
valid users = "D13\administrator" "D13\computerclub"
"D13\cmueller"
force user = "D13\computerclub"
writeable = yes
This works in 3.0.23a. In 3.0.23c, we get an error when trying to access
the share from Windows or from smbclient:
$ smbclient //wfserver/computerclub -U computerclub
Password:
Domain=[D13] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.23c-1.fc5]
tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF)
The problem is associated with the "force user" statement - commenting
it out eliminates the problem. Removing the domain prefix produces
(correctly) a "user not found" error, so it is related to a forced
user with a domain prefix. Making it "force user = nobody" works.
I saw an earlier bug report about a segfault when a domain was used with
"force user", but that seemed unrelated.
Thanks!
