I'm running samba on a redhat 6.2 server. It works fine as far as logon validation and linux shares go. But when I try to use user level access control for the two win98 clients, I run into some strange stuff.
The symptoms are these:
1)When creating a share on the windows client, I can't add any users. I get two rather contradictory dialogues, the first being something like "you created a share but haven't given anyone permission to use it, do you want to add users now?" I click on yes and get something like "can't add users at this time, try again later." Shouldn't the list of user come from the samba server anyway? isn't that the point?
2) I can see all the computers on the network in network neighborhood. But If I'm on client A and right click on the Client B icon and select properties, client B doesn't show up as being logged on to the domain. If I do the same thing to client A from client B, I get the same result. However if I were at client A and got the properties for client A, it'd show up as being logged on to the domain. So how do I get one client to realize that the other client is logged into the same domain? it shows up in the same work group, how could it not be in the same domain-right? There are some (apparently)little documented commands for the smb.conf file such as
domain admin users =
domain admin groups =
domain guest groups=
and a couple more. Anyone know what these do?
3)I can see the shared directories on one client from the other, but when I try to access them I get an access denied error (suprise!).
I suppose if I got really desperate I could use smbmount to redirect client shares through samba and to the other client. But, what's the easier way? Also, going from user level access to share level access (each share gets its own password instead of each user) works, but thats horribly crude.
Thanks much!
