Looking for a poniter in the right direction
My current configuration is
NT4 PDC (Solaris PCnetlink)
Samba Member server (Solaris 9 Samba ver 3.0.20b)for file and print
sharing
WinXp Pro Clients SP2
My problem is with the Domain Users. I am able to share out file systems
to the XP clients from my Samba server OK. I am also able to modify the
permissions for the files in the share in Solaris using the chmod, chgrp
and chown. This seems to work OK. When I am on the WinXp client and I look
at the security permissions tab on the folder properties that I own, I
cannot see the NT4 Domain Users, all I see are the \\localmachine\user
when what I want is the \\domain\user. When I try to add a domain user in
the secrutiy properties page I see the domain and the list of users but
when I select a user or group and select add it does not add it to the
folder properties. I am new to Samba -- am I missing some simple
configuration parameter or is this how it is suppose to work.
My first question to you is how have you setup the users on this Solaris
file server? For file sharing to work properly,I'd imagine you either are
running Winbind for the user database on the server, OR you are using
username mapping, with local users on the file server as well. If you are
not, well, that is your problem right there. Samba needs to know which
UNIX user owns the files, and has the various permissions: Knowing which
user in the Windows domain would not do Samba any good, as it doesn't
maintain a permissions database for files separate of the UNIX file
permissions scheme (someone please correct me if I am wrong here).
This is quite unlike Sun's PC Netlink, which, IIRC, is a product developed
under a source code license from Microsoft, allowing for full Windows NT
4.0 PDC functionality from a Solaris server (versions were produced for
other versions of UNIX as well). However, it maintains its own database
for file permissions, and it does not require local UNIX users for every
Windows user in the domain.
As such, my recommendation would be to run Winbind on the file server,
which will allow you to authenticate local UNIX users via the PC Netlink
PDC, and allow you to do file permissions and other such things on the
UNIX level quite easily. I cannot say for sure that this is where your
problem lies, but I'd put some money on it (if I were not a poor college
student, that is :-)).
