similar to: Hello & a query to relieve some confusion about samba

Hi I am new today here and have a couple of confusing items I hope someone here o the list can straighten out for me. 1. The definitions of the served usershares apprears in more than one location; in ubutu 12.04 LTS there appears to be a set of defined shares in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file near the bottom, the second location appears to be located in the file structure at

I have a samba server running on ubuntu 9.10 with windows (both Xp and vista) clients running quickbooks (accounting software). Quickbooks can connect to the samba server and get access to the data files with no problems, if the secretary uses quickbooks continuously there is never a problem the system works for hours on end. However if the secretary leaves the software running but doing nothing

sorry for opening this thread again, but it looks like there is some bug in samba usershares. I successfully reproduced this bug in OpenBSD and in Fedora. Steps to reproduce: 1) Use default samba config. 2) Add options: usershare max shares = 5 (or else number) usershare allow guests = Yes 3) create usershares directory (personally i use directory path from testparm -v) 4) create group usershare

Hello! Please look at this log entry: [2018/10/30 15:26:04.013132, 0] ../source3/param/loadparm.c:3358(process_usershare_file) process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/share failed. Permission denied I don't know why this message is spamming my log, my version of samba is 4.9.1 from fedora 29, but problem existed long time ago with older versions. here is usershares

oh sorry, of course i have a typo in 6. The user usershare dir depends on system where samba was build. For example in fedora it is /var/lib/samba/usershares, and in openbsd it is /var/samba/usershares. I am sure i am doing everything right. пн, 5 нояб. 2018 г. в 19:10, Rowland Penny via samba <samba at lists.samba.org >: > On Mon, 5 Nov 2018 18:05:09 +0300 > Илья Коскин via samba

Hi, I have an Ubuntu system with samba 4 that did work perfectly until this morning. Normal shares in smb.conf appeared as always, while user shares included with %U did not anymore. This is the global part of smb.conf: ? ? ? ? security = user ? ? ? ? username map = /etc/samba/smbusers ? ? ? ? include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%U ? ? ? ? include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%m ? There are then various

In syslog of my DC (2:4.5.12+dfsg-2+deb9u2~bpo8+1) i found sometime rows like: Mar 21 09:53:40 vdcsv1 smbd[22686]: [2018/03/21 09:53:40.826081, 0] ../source3/param/loadparm.c:3244(process_usershare_file) Mar 21 09:53:40 vdcsv1 smbd[22686]: process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/sysvo failed.

I did have a "usershares" share when I first set the domain up. This has since been removed. The strange thing is that from my PC (which was the first to be added to the domain) and from this PC (which was the second) I can still see the share (and access it from my PC). Seems like there is some caching going on somewhere. Any idea how it can be cleared? John On 30/06/2015

I set up two usershares to share my music and photos read-only a while ago. I recently decided to remove the usershares and recreate the shares in my smb.conf with read/write access to some users. If the shares have the same names that the usershares originally had, it seems that the original read-only permissions still apply; however, if I change only the names of the shares, I gain read/write

Another issue I don't understand: On two different samba servers, smbd logs errors like this: Feb 16 18:36:29 roberts smbd[136]: process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/business failed. Permission denied Neither machine have configured usershares. There are no users on the sambashare group. The server logging the above error is replacing a file server that had a share

Hi everyone, I have the exact same problem as this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=772154 But the Samba version is different and much newer (Debian Wheezy 2:4.1.17+dfsg-1~bpo70+1). B asically many errors appear about non existing usershares. These fake usershares are just the user name, but truncated of the last character. process_usershare_file: stat of

Hello, I notice if I simply comment out a share or remove entirely. I receive errors such as theses. Is there a proper protocol to follow when removing a share? process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/myshare failed. No such file or directory ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4366(process_usershare_file) process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/myshare failed.

Hi All, I have a computer which I recently took off the domain before shipping to HP for repair. I've now had it back and re-added it to the domain and it no-longer appears to be able to access the sysvol share (even using a domain admin login). I've seen this behaviour in one other machine but as it was just a test machine I ignored the problem. When I try to access the share I

Okay, I added that and the errors stopped. I was hoping that this was a symptom of my bigger problems, but it wasn't.
