Hi,
quick(?) question: Has anybody seen that problem below? More important question: Did anybody solve that?
This is my smb.conf (well, only the most important parts):
[global] workgroup = FOOBAR server string = My Server map to guest = Bad User preferred master = No local master = No domain master = No dns proxy = No
[on3] comment = Audio-Video-Imports path = /local/mir/import/on3 force group = users read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 guest ok = Yes
The path has:
drwxrwxr-x 3 mir users 4096 10. Dez 16:35 /local/mir/import/on3/
Meaning: group users and user mir are allowed to write in there. Works fine from windows clients. Guest user gets mapped to "nobody".
Doesn't work from linux:
[root@shutdown ~]# mount -t cifs -o user=nobody,guest //mir-qs/on3 /mnt/tmp/ mount error 13 = Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)
root@mir-qs:~# uname -a ; rpm -q samba Linux mir-qs.br.de 2.6.9-78.0.8.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 19 20:05:04 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux samba-3.0.28-0.el4.9.i386
Machine is up to date.
Error message on the server is
make_connection: connection to on3 denied due to security descriptor.
Googling around led me to the belief that someone fooled around with srvmgr.exe from a windows machine and that I should remove /var/cache/samba/share_info.tdb and restart samba. Which doesn't work.
Now if I take out the "force group = users" everything works as expected. Except that I cannot write in this share - nobody isn't in the group users.
I don't want to add nobody to the group users, nor can I go and change anything on that server regarding users and groups in the file system.
Ah yes, smbclient works fine, but I really do not want to use that either.
Cheers,
Ralph
