Your situation is very confusing. Your server name is, according to your
smb.conf line:
netbios name = fileserver
and you are also forcing all users to connect as username & group
force user = fileserver
force group = fileserver
The force user tells Samba to connect as user "fileserver" no matter
what id the user connects with. However, if your .auth file already is
telling Samba that you are connecting as fileserver, this should have no
affect.
I note that you also have guest ok = yes in your smb.conf. It is
possible that you are not connecting as user fileserver, possibly due to
a .auth file error. You may be connecting as guest which may still have
read access but probably not write. Try manually connecting without
specifying a password in the .auth file. See if you get an error message.
A test with no password in my .auth file proved NOT to work, so this
means I can't connect to the server without the right
username/password..
I did this force user and group to enable everybody in the company to
read and write to the shared folder...
I am just completely unhappy that the Windows works 100% and the Linux
not... This is just wrong :(
Be that as it may...If you don't feel like breaking your head on this,
could you maybe help me with creating a samba conf that would require no
authentication, and have read/write access for all... This was the
original idea....Just a simple shared folder for all on the network.
Sorry for messing up your head with my confusing configurations :D
OK. So now try removing the credentials entirely. Also, set the log
level in smb.conf to 10 and restart it. Then connect from the command
line (as root) using -o username=fileserver,domain=....
See if you get an error message and also check the logs.
