I have a samba 3.0.14a PDC on FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. With pam_mount on Ubuntu 5.10 users have their home mounted with mount.cifs.
I have 2 issues with this setting. First with the evolution email client, when I pop my mails I have the following error: Cannot append message to mbox file: /home/profs/user1/.evolution/mail/local/Inbox: Permission denied The log.smbd shows: [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/Inbox read=Yes write=Yes (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/InboxizR3Ga read=Yes write=Yes (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/InboxizR3Ga (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/InboxizR3Ga read=Yes write=No (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/InboxizR3Ga (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/.#Inbox.cmeta read=Yes write=Yes (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/.#Inbox.cmeta (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/.#Inbox.cmeta read=Yes write=No (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/.#Inbox.cmeta (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.cmeta read=Yes write=No (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.cmeta (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/.#Inbox.cmeta read=Yes write=No (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/.#Inbox.cmeta (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.lock read=Yes write=No (numopen=11) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/Inbox.lock (numopen=10) [2006/06/10 08:25:33, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .evolution/mail/local/Inbox (numopen=9) I checked the permissions on .evolution/mail/local/ which appear to be OK. I have no problem with evolution if my home is on the local filesystem. The second issue is about KDE applications. For instance when running kmail from a terminal I have an endless series of WARNING: Problem deleting stale lockfile /home/profs/user1/.kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lock The log.smbd shows: [2006/06/10 08:47:19, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lock6GU7Wb.tmp read=Yes write=Yes (numopen=6) [2006/06/10 08:47:19, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lock6GU7Wb.tmp (numopen=5) [2006/06/10 08:47:19, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(245) user1 opened file .kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lock6GU7Wb.tmp read=Yes write=No (numopen=6) [2006/06/10 08:47:19, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(272) user1 closed file .kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.lock6GU7Wb.tmp (numopen=5) I have exactly the same issues with samba 3.0.21b on FreeBSD 6.1. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Thierry. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
