We recently migrated our install from an ancient fedora 11 install of samba and
openldap to a centos 6.3 setup with its openldap and samba. The domain has been
totally recreated from scratch as the person that did the previous setup has
not been employed here in many years. After fighting with shares for a while we
mostly got them fixed and working. However the biggest issue now is when our
GIS people try to connect to their samba share. Previously two pople could be
editing different feature classes, different files, but now it will not let the
second person do anything but view. Here is a brief explanation from our head
GIS guy:
We currently have 5 data sets in one feature class in the GIS.
site_point
site_poly
survey_point
survey_line
survey_poly
Before the conversion to the new Domain:
User A could open up the GIS on computer 1 and begin to edit one of the data
set. (site_point for example) and User B could open up the GIS on computer 2
and begin to edit any other data set except what User A was editing (in this
example site_point). As long a two people didn't try and edit the same data
set it worked.
After the Domain conversion:
User A opens up the GIS on computer 1 and begins to edit any of our data sets.
User B opens up the GIS on computer 2 and attempts to edit any of our data sets
a window opens up with several errors about file locks. ( I can send up
screen shots in the morning) As we saw in the samba logs it appears that once
User A begins editing the one data set all the other data sets in the feature
class get .lock files along with the one that User A is actually editing. The
only way User B can edit data is if User A exits the GIS completely.
So with that we have been trying everything we can think of to get it working
correctly again. When I setup the share I copied the existing share from the
old domain and put it in the new one making only the domain name change to the
section.
Here is the old setup:
[pictures]
comment = Shared Folder for Pictures
path = /samba/pictures
read only = No
create mask = 0667
directory mask = 0770
csc policy = disable
nt acl support = no
force security mode = 777
valid users = @hpres
force group = @ADMIN\hpres
#inherit permissions = yes
write list = @ADMIN\hpres
Here is the new:
[hp-pictures]
comment = Shared Folder for Historic Preservation Pictures
path = /samba/arrowhead/hp-pictures
read only = No
create mask = 0667
directory mask = 0770
csc policy = disable
nt acl support = no
force security mode = 777
valid users = @hpres
force group = @MDAH\hpres
write list = @MDAH\hpres
Anyone have an idea why this could be happening?
