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.
Both work fine, testparm changes displays either way as @"name". The
spaced names don't work either way, but it seems more of an issue with
smbd, rather than everything to do with groups. ie. Winbind seems to be ok.

Hello Samba,
I have a Samba file server which I have successfully joined to a
domian controlled by a Windows 2003 domian controller. I cannot get
the server to allow access to users who are members of a group with
spaces in its name.

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?

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
