Hai, ? small question. ? Im running debian squeeze, samba 3.6.6-2~bpo60+1? in with domain with ldap. ? I joint my domain with a new server as domain member, so far so good. ? im having problems with the "force user" parameter. Its not working.? ;-) the force group is working fine. ? strange this is, the share is a copy of other server ( the settings ) and on other server its working ok. ? this is the share : ? [dbspool] ??????? comment = Aftermath Database Spooling ??????? path = /home/dbspool ??????? browseable = yes ??????? writeable = yes ??????? read list = @"DOMAINNAME\groupname" ??????? write list = @"DOMAINNAME\groupname" ??????? force user =?username ??????? force group =?groupname ??????? create mode = 666 ??????? directory mode = 777 ??????? wide links = yes ??????? follow symlinks = yes Very this i copy to the share has user root ( and this is correct since my user is also in the Domain Admins group ) but with force user it should be username and not root. ? Im missing something, but can see what. the logs are error free. ? Best regards, ? Louis ?
