Okay, i've been pulling my hair out (there's not much left either, but i digress)...
I started from a very blank smb.conf for one... I noticed that in gnome now if i restart samba, i have to disconnect and reconnect the drive otherwise i get an error saying: Could not open location 'smb://MACHINE/PATH' no data available work around for that issue (if it is a new issue) is to disconnect and reconnect the mount (linux at least - haven't tried windows, hope you don't have to do that there). ============== $ testparm -s /etc/samba/smb.conf Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384) Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Loaded services file OK.

I then added, and it's good to go again.... I'm not sure if this gives more information than was already here, but hopefully it stops someone else taking these same steps... -- samba server requires smbpasswd -a user constantly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/566560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
