I got no answers other than a "metoo" for this...so
maybe it IS a tricky problem and not just a config error...
Can someone give any pointers on how to debug further...
I am rather stuck on what to do next.
Thanks
Pete
Re: [Samba] samba v2 works, v3 does not - Unix groups
Shifting from a v2 samba server to v3 - Read documentation
and googled LOTS but can't seem to find the bits that apply
to my simple(?) server with regards to groups.
# rpm -qi samba
Version : 3.0.28 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release : 1.el5_2.1 Source RPM: samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1.src.rpm
Samba on server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2) IS MOSTLY WORKING...
home directories authenticating correctly to Active Directory,
then supplying Unix disk to windows clients.
Mounting correctly. read write OK
testparm works fine..no errors
THE PROBLEM :
===========
Other samba shares (eg www) mount, and are browsable and
read and writeable IN PART...
they don't take note of the secondary Unix group permissions
By this I mean user "fred" in the ldap password entry has default
group "staff" and the file mode permissions for staff do work.
User "fred" is also in group "webadmin" in the ldap unix group.
These do NOT work. If I change "fred" in ldap to be default
group "webadmin", the group permissions for "webadmin" now work.
(but staff do not :-( )
The following entry for www shows (in comments) the variations
I have attempted. (before the testparm does its stuff).
read/write list also been commented out. to try and rely only
on Unix group but no improvement.
[www]
comment = WWW directory
path = /export/netfs/www
; valid users = +staff
; valid users = fred, john, mary
public = no
writable = yes
read list = +staff, +webadmin
write list = +staff, +webadmin
create mode = 0775
