Here's the situation: We have users who are members of groups and those groups are sometimes members of a 2nd level of groups. If a folder has permissions assigned to a 2nd level group, then the user can not access the share. Doing a "getent group | grep user | grep 2nd_level_group" also returns nothing. Samba seems to not be recognizing that a user is a member of a group under

hello I'm having the following problem: On a share I have a user with read-only access to word files. Another user has read-write access to these files. When the user with read-only access opens a word file and then the user with read-write access to these files opens the file, the read-write user has only read-only access. If the read-write user opens the word file first, then he has

We are running a fileserver (Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.9) on CentOS 4.4. No AD, clients are Windows XP and OS X. Linux acl's are used for access to directories and files. Each top-level folder belongs to a primary group with mode 2770. The acl's restrict access to lower level directories. We need to pass the acl's down the directory tree or else users may have unexpected access to

I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20 version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want automatic updates for bugfixes and

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions. The Previous Versions tab is just blank. In the samba log, I get this: [2006/11/28 12:02:02, 0] modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c:shadow_copy_opendir(81) shadow_copy_opendir: SMB_VFS_NEXT_OPENDIR() failed for

What is the difference between %u and %U? The documentation says they both return the value of the connected username, but will they return different values?

Our samba server authenticates to Windows 2000 Active Directory and I have ea support enabled on the share and on the file system. The OS is Debian Stable, fully updated and using Samba 3.0.23c from Backports. Now copying and accessing files is plenty fast, but when setting up permissions on directories that contain 100 GB or so of files and subdirectories takes like 60 minutes from the time I

I imagine we can save some space on our file server by cleaning up all the files that are saved multiple times by different people. There is already the fdupes command in linux that will scan a directory tree and report what files have duplicates. This could be easily scripted to turn those duplicate files into symlinks to one file. The problem is see, then, is what would happen if someone

What is the difference between Heimdal and MIT as far usability goes? MIT seems to be the default on major linux distrobutions, but I here a lot about people preferring Heimdal, but I can't find any reasons why. Is one generally more stable/faster/reliable than the other? There is already a blank wiki page at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Kerberos so if anyone has any good

Is there some way I can manually change the gid of one of these? The group1 is a new group that I just set up btw. James Dinkel

I had been thinking this would be a good idea, but figured if it could be easily done, then it would be done already. Then I came across this article: http://www.suse.de/~agruen/acl/linux-acls/online/ which has this to say: ----------------------- The mapping between POSIX and Windows ACLs described here is found in this form in the SuSE and the UnitedLinux products, while the official

So now, I suppose I should let the list know what I've done to fix this. I found two offending computers, that caused this problem. The first offending computer I found, I just assigned it a static IP and then firewalled it off from the file server. For it's purpose, it's doesn't actually need to access the file server. I then found a second computer that was suspect, and

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with
