Hi, I'm trying to give my users access to a folder contained within a Samba share, e.g.
$ ls share drwxrwsr-x 14 fsuser DOMAIN\OldGroup 432 2005-12-07 15:35 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 128 2005-11-17 12:33 .. drwxrwsr-x 3 fsuser DOMAIN\OldGroup 136 2005-11-22 16:56 Archive drwxrwsr-x 2 fsuser DOMAIN\NewGroup 48 2005-12-07 15:35 test Note that the groups have write access to these folders, so I expect anyone in DOMAIN\OldGroup to have write access to 'Archive' and anyone in DOMAIN\NewGroup to have write access to 'test'. This is partially working, in that I added users to OldGroup, then set up winbind, and now all the users originally added to OldGroup have write access to 'Archive' but nobody else. Since then I have created a new group called NewGroup and added some users to it (myself included), however nobody can write to the folder owned by NewGroup, even though everyone is a member in exactly the same way as they were with OldGroup. Even stranger, users that I've added to OldGroup since setting up winbind don't have access to the OldGroup folder. I thought this was perhaps an issue with winbind not updating the group membership, except that this appears to be happening: $ getent group DOMAIN\\OldGroup DOMAIN\OldGroup:x:10097:DOMAIN\OldUser1,DOMAIN\NewUser1 $ getent group DOMAIN\\NewGroup DOMAIN\NewGroup:x:10097:DOMAIN\OldUser1,DOMAIN\NewUser1 Yet if DOMAIN\OldUser1 connects, that user has write access to 'Archive' (which was set up before winbind) but not 'test' (which was set up after winbind had been running for a while.) NewUser1 doesn't have write access to anything, as that user was added to both groups a few weeks after winbind had been running (and the user has been in the groups for about a week now, which should be ample time for any caches to expire.) Has anyone experienced this before? I didn't think Samba cached these values long-term, but it certainly doesn't look like winbind does. Thanks, Adam. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
