Being a long time samba user I think my config is close to right but I'm not being allowed access to linux shares from windowsXP machines.
The valid users and shares are entered into smb.conf the same for many months. A sample share below:
Samba server is running on gentoo linux samba-3.0.23a
[smPub]
comment = ""
valid users = reader harry
path = /mnt/pack/pub
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
I've been using the samba password setup for mnths too.
Logs appear to see users shown above as authenticating ok but then denies access.
Both users are adminstrators accounts on windowsXP
I have the samba log level set to 2 and raising it any further causes such an blast of logging its really hard to make any sense of it.
A couple of log lines from one attempt:
[2006/09/01 18:37:47, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(309)
check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [reader] -> [reader] -> [reader] succeeded
[2006/09/01 18:37:47, 2] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(571)
user 'reader' (from session setup) not permitted to access this share (smPub)
Note that the share belongs to `reader' on the linux machine:
ls -ld /mnt/pack/pub
drwxr-xr-x 20 reader users 2200 Sep 1 12:38 /mnt/pack/pub
And its the same for all files under `pub'.
So authentication has worked but access is denied... I don't get it. . .
