similar to: Native mode switch causing "chdir (/path) failed"

For some time now I've had this type of error showing up in my logs: [2004/09/16 11:52:08, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(56) chdir (/export/downloads) failed I've Googled, I've looked at the source, and I still can't understand why this error appears. What's really odd is that everything seems to work fine, in spite of the error. Could someone please explain what

Hi all, I'm running Samba Version 3.0.21a on SUSE Linux 9.3. For the Hardware I'm using a Dell Power Edge 1750, this is connected with a QLA2300_7xx HBA on a CX300 DUN EMC? Disk array machine. The operating system works on the local disks from the Power Edge, the /data share is on the /dev/sdb1 which is the LUN on the CX300. All seems to work, bat I have continuously follow error

Hey Gang, I have a suse 8.1 server that I have compiled samba 3.0.2 from source on. I have it configured to authenticate against our AD. That seems to be working fine. getent passwd produces the results from both passwd and AD. getent group gives me the groups + the AD groups. I was able to assign the permissions to the folder without problems. It picked up the group from AD and assigned it

I'm getting this frequently in our logs but I cannot replicate the problem when I try. I have a user successfully map his home directory: 2007/09/05 09:13:14, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(305) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [lmerrill] -> [lmerrill] -> [lmerrill] succeeded [2007/09/05 09:13:14, 3] libsmb/ntlmssp_sign.c:ntlmssp_sign_init(319) NTLMSSP Sign/Seal -

L.S. I've some problems on a couple of my samba servers. The servers running CentOS release 5 with samba-3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4 The config is pretty standard, not much special in it. But the log files are filling up with error messages like this one: [2008/03/12 17:08:47, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(184) chdir (/var/lib/samba/profiles) failed On the clients (all windows XP) are

Hallo, one of my colleagues has problems with Samba (V 3.0.32). Samba runs on a Linux server (Slackware 2.6.29.6), some clients are attached via a Windows Terminalserver. Wiederum war auf dem Windows-TS 1(!) User in die Arktur3.6 -Dom?ne f?r ca 20 Minuten angemeldet und hat dabei ca 4400 Meldungen in die /var/log/messages geschrieben.

I've been getting this one for a while, but since it doesn't seem to be causing any problems I'm just now getting around to asking about it. I'm sure it's something really dumb I'm overlooking, I just need another set of eyes to spot it for me. In log.smbd, many times a day: [2003/02/23 12:17:40, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(59) chdir (/export/shared) failed

I'm seeing this in the log.smbd file for v3.0.28a. [2008/04/14 18:29:16, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(184) chdir (/root/tmp) failed This happens straight after a server startup if I connect to my HOME directory (and I'm the only person using the server). It is noted in the log (debug level 1) *before* the entry about me connecting to my home. There is no mention of /root

Hello, Samba refuses to be browseable. I started out wanting to configure it as a PDC, just as I have done previously with samba 2.2.8 (and openldap). smbclient -L localhost -U% gives "Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED". Using debian 3.0r1, samba 3.0.0, openldap with nsswitch, etc. I am a newbie at looking at the logs, I see the access denied

Hi I would be grateful if somebody would tell me why can't I access shared folder on Ubuntu 5.04 computer (computer name is my-computer) from my Windows XP computer (its name is tablet-pc). I am using Samba 3.0.10-Ubuntu. I see this folder in Windows XP but when I try to access it I get error "\\My-computer\backup is not accessible. [...] Network access is denied."

Hi, I have a few users that are creating errors like below. These users have mapped a directory via Samba and also have it connected. They can access their home directory or other directory via Samba fine, but it is strange that every hour on the hour there is a failure put into the log (even though they are working). My server is joined to the Domain and it is using

I am running a Snap 4200 fileserver, which is a network appliance that uses Samba to share files on a windows network. I've been experiencing slow performance on the Snap. The issue started suddenly 5 to 6 weeks ago, so I don't think it's a performance-related problem. I SSHed into the unit and noticed some odd errors in the samba event logs. They look something like this:

My samba shares aren't working with ACL access since the upgrade.

Hello. I'm having some trouble with the force group parameter in the smb.conf file. I'm running samba 2.2.8a on RedHat 9. The smb.conf file has the following entries: [sales] comment = Sales Share path = /sales public = no writable = yes create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 force group

Hi, I'm having permissions problems connecting to a share when the gid of the directory shared is not the primary group of the user connecting to it. Maybe I faced it the wrong way, but I did read (and at least thought I understood) the 'File, directory and share access controls' section of the howto [0]. My users have either one or another 'primary group' (the one set in

Hi All, I'm working on SUSE Linux 2.6.11.4-21.9-default i686 i386 GNU/Linux, with Samba Version 3.0.21a-0.1-SUSE.

I have found something in "/var/log/messages" file

Hello, This is a problem with both samba 4.3.3 and 4.3.4. I have a crash that seems triggered after a NT_STATUS_DENIED on a chdir operation. After that the server begins to shutdown itself with the message "Server exit (failed to receive smb request)", to close all the connections and when closing it crashes due a talloc error. I cannot reproduce myself this error and it occurs
