I believe it should be @"spaced groups" how we type it, not "@spaced
groups".
eg: valid users = @"spaced groups"
But I don't know if @spaced\ groups will work.

Hello Samba,
I have a Samba file server which I have successfully joined to a domian

I have the same problem with Samba version 3.20b. What is interesting is
that groups with spaces in the name work through Winbind (ie. apache
with mod_auth_pam), but don't work from within Samba (ie. the smb.conf
file). Is this currently being resolved, and/or is there a work around?
Cheers,

The domain has three (main) groups:
- students
- teachers
- spaced users
My Samba.conf has the following shared directories defined:
[teachers]
comment = teacher's shares
writable = yes
valid users = @teachers
path = /home/groups/teachers
writable = yes
browsable = no
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
[students]
comment = student's shares
writable = no
valid users = @teachers @students
path = /home/groups/students
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
write list = @teachers
[spaced]
comment = test with spaces
writable = yes
valid users = "@spaced users"
path = /home/spaced users
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
browsable = yes
The following works fine:
members of @teachers have access to both teachers and students shares
members of @teachers can write to both teachers and students shares
members of @students can only see the students shares
But this does not work:
"@spaced users" should be able to access the spaced share but cannot. On a
Windows XP terminal on the network, any attempt to view the spaced shared
by anyone (including members of the "spaced users" group) results in a
login box popping up and no combination of user name or password will let
you see the share.
I am using Samba version 3.14 running on Fedora Core 4.
I have included my full smb.conf
Many thanks in advance,
John
