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 at 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 at 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 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
