I have winbind up and running and changed all of my users from the Windows
2003 server to the SAMBA server over the weekend, and no-one noticed.
I have run into a problem with force user, and it may just be my
understanding of how the paramter works. Following is my configuration
for the share.
[Barbara.Slevin]
comment = Barbaba Slevin's Home Directory
browseable = No
valid users = mo+barbara.slevin,mo+jay.hall
force user = mo+barbara.slevin
create mode = 0770
directory mode = 0770
writeable = Yes
I am logged in as jay.hall. With the force user statement in the
configuration, I receive a message stating, "The specified network name is
no longer available." This happens whether the force user name is in
quotes or not. If I remove the force user statement from the share, I am
able to connect to the share without any problems.
Can I use the force user statement to map to a Windows 2003 user id (e.g.
mo+barbara.slevin)? In reading the smb.conf documentation, I got the
impression, it must map to a user id on the local system. If this is not
the case, any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay
