I'm running out of things to check. I have two servers running Samba 2.3.3, one as a Domain Controller one as a Member Server. Both are running Ubuntu 8.10. smbd, nmbd and winbindd using the tdb back end are running on both. On the Member Server when I access the [Projects] share everything works as expected. When I access the [Windows] share I get prompted for a user name and password but no combination works If I comment out the "force group" then [Windows] mostly works but not there are issues with one application which will gives error indication it cant create files. I have worked through a number of issues eventually finding that pam was not configured correctly, now it seems to be correct, getent now includes the domain users and groups. I can find no difference between the two shares but one works as expected and one doesn't. The only significant apparent difference is that [Windows] is much larger.> [Projects] > comment = Project Specific Data > path = /files/Lucretia/Projects > force group = "ATLANTA\domain users" > read only = No > create mask = 0764 > directory mask = 0775 > > [Windows] > comment = Atlanta Windows Files > path = /files/Lucretia/Windows > force group = "ATLANTA\domain users" > read only = No > create mask = 0764 > directory mask = 0775A list of the directory> root at louise:/files/Lucretia# > drwxrwsr-x 36 trish domain users 1608 2010-01-20 15:53 Projects > drwxrwsrwx 291 trish domain users 23600 2010-01-25 15:15 WindowsThere are no acl's set on either directory. -- Robert Steinmetz, AIA Principal Steinmetz & Associates

It's an "epoch", which is explained in Debian's policy manual as follows: "It is provided to allow mistakes in the version numbers of older versions of a package, and also a package's previous version numbering schemes, to be left behind." http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version -- Michael Wood <esiotrot at gmail.com>
