Re: [Samba] A simple stand-alone scenario but public share doesn´t work
Dearest list, Thank you very much for all the helpfull suggestions and tips. As some of you pointed out that the config in itself seemed ok, i checked my assumptions once more. There i did a dreadfull discovery. It seems both ingrid and rolf weren't members of the group users. I thought i'd explicitly made them a member and i thought i had tested it but appearently i didn't. No wonder it didn't work... Please forgive me, Rolf Deenen PS. I'll be off line the following days, lashing myself ;-) Quoting Rolf Deenen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear list, For a simple home-network i recently installed Debian Etch on an extra machine to act as server. It stores my mail, it acts as webserver, firewall, dns-, dhcp- and database-server. All of these services are running like a charm. The only thing left is to get samba running. Well, it is running, but to get it running how i want it to is a different matter i suppose, for i am quite stuck here. First, let me explain what i want. On my network there are two users, rolf and ingrid. I want both these users to have a personal share on the server as well as a shared directory. Samba version 3.0.24 is installed on the computer for this. I´ve added these two statements in my /etc/samba/smb.conf : [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no path=/home/%U/Documents writable = yes create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 [shared] comment = Shared Directories browseable = no path=/home/samba/Documents writable = yes create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 browseable = yes I added both users to the smb password database using the smbpasswd command. After booting my windows XP laptop and logging into the machine (local logon) with the same username-password combination as i am known on the server i can see the contents of \\Myservername. I see a share rolf and a share shared. I can access the share rolf without a problem, and create and delete content on it. However, i cannot get into the shared share getting access denied. The only way to get to the share is by doing a chmod 777 on /home/samba . I dislike this idea very much. The filesystem-rights on this directory on the server are as follows: drwxrwx--- 3 root users 4096 2007-12-27 22:43 /home/samba As such all groupmembers of the group users can access the directory. They can however not access the share, even though they are members of the correct group. While searching for information about this i am drowning in information about things like authentication, group membership and uid-to-sid-mapping. So much that i am losing overview. I therefore have the following questions (to begin with :-) ) 1. Should the above setup work and give the users rolf and ingrid to the shared share? 2. Is there anybody else, using the same configuration who is willing to explain how he/she did this? 3. Is there any documentation about setting the described scenario up? Like i said, I've searched all over the web, but i found it hard to find relative information. Some documentation i found seem to suggest that the setup I've described here should simply work. Other documentation describe setting up a similar environment, but want to make the server a domain controller, and the samba howto gives so much information that a can not determine what part of this information is relevant.

Re: [Samba] A simple stand-alone scenario but public share doesn´t work
Ah, yes. Sorry about that. I tinkered so much that i accidentally must have placed browseable twice in the directive. I don´t think it matters much, because later the correct command is given: browseable = yes. I removed the browseable = no and restarted samba. It makes no difference. Thanks for the reply though.

Re: [Samba] A simple stand-alone scenario but public share doesn´t work
Hello Rolf To share the documents it is necessary to tell Samba itself who has access to the shares. If your shared users are in group user, you would have to specify in your share: valid users = @users force group = users alternatively you can specify: valid users = rolf ingrid Be sure that rolf and ingrid are in the group users. force group ensures that the documents are accessible by the members of the group users when different users write the documents.
