Hi
I've set up some group accessible shares on a rhel4u8 linux box running
samba 3.0.33
This appeared to be functioning correctly (a week ago) but now users are having
issues with accessing the shares when mapped to a drive in Windows XP.
Shares were set up as follows:
[Project]
comment = Project area
path = /home/mymount/Project
writable = yes
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775
/home/mymount/Project is automounted from a NetApp fileserver and has gid bit
set i.e.:
# ls -al /home/mymount/
total 24
drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 Sep 14 18:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 0 Sep 15 11:01 ..
drwxrwsrwx 72 lansley sharegroup 4096 Sep 14 14:36 Project
drwxrwxrwx 34 root root 4096 Sep 15 11:00 .snapshot
I have created a Unix group called sharegroup with relevant usernames contained.
Shares are mapped at login. Double clicking on a share in Windows Explorer gives
an access denied message. Right clicking on the drive shows a couple of strange
entries in the pulldown:
Open(0)
Autoplay
Search
Open
Explore
Using Open or Explore opens the drive with no issue but the Open(0) is the
default hence double click doesn't work.
The data within had been migrated from an old Win2K box and there were
autorun.inf files at the top level. I have deleted these.
Is it possible Samba has cached these somewhere? If so where and how do I clear
it?
Cheers,
Bob
