A good way to get some help could be by sending some debug material, such as logs obtained by setting "log level = 3" and look in /var/log/samba files? Has the Ubuntu box been upgraded from a situation where it was working well, with an older version of samba? BTW, this "valid users = %S" thing shoul dbe removed from your [global] section. "valid users" is a share-level setting and %S is meant to be replace by the share name. IMHO, having it in the [global] section can't do anything good. At best, it is just useless. At worse, this could be the cause of some problems. Not yours, probably as it is overriden by the "valid users = guy" setting in [data]....but I would suggest dropping settings that are piled up in smb.conf *unless* you *know* that there is a need for them. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
