-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Commented this out in the homes share and the problem went away:
;hide special files = Yes What happened: 1. I rarely ever do upgrades. Since I keep good backups, I almost always do clean installs. Keeps me honest with the backups for one thing. Anyway, under these conditions Mandriva will sometimes assume that any subdirectory under /home is supposed to be a user. So what it does under the conditions of a clean install is it will create at least one user using one of these and assign that directory to them. In other words it created a user storeage (complete with mis-spelling) and assigned the /home/storeage directory to that user. This WAS my public directory assigned to nobody.nogroup. I had to change it back in order to make it available again. So anyway, that is not a Samba issue. I wish Mandriva had back-ported the Samba packages so that I wouldn't have had to cope with both an OS upgrade AND a Samba upgrade simultaneously. I think that in the future I will download the old packages first and use them after an OS upgrade for a while. 2. The line "hide special files = Yes" seems to be causing Samba to hide ALL files. That is why I could not access my homes share. It's definitely a bug but it is one I can life with now that I know how to get around it. Methodology for solving this was to disable the majority of the lines in the share and then enable them one at a time until the problem child was discovered. This was not a problem in 3.0.10 Jim C. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCooYYB4AhF6wVFMERAp5dAJ9OHSAWfpB5vu5kIgfnEaBHnS99qQCfcZPG QS+vhm32yQE1dvV39QXNwu4= =oC+M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
