Well, i've finally fixed a number of problems that I was having with my samba/LDAP PDC. Now, its just a matter of setting up some of our users software so they can access the data on the server. I will try and explain this issue as best as I can without being to wordy. :)
We use a program called point. Point holds files in multiple directories on the network server. For our instance, it is holding data in directories below /home/point (/home/point/pntdata, /home/point/leads and so forth).
The way point works is that each client has a local version of the software installed on their computer. The software is then setup to point to where the data is being held. In this instance, I would setup the software to point to the samba PDC and into the /home/point folders. (Which ever ones I needed to specifically point to.) This is done with a little tool that the program comes with. In a nutshell, it's almost like mapping a network drive to a directory on the server for the program.
Now, where it gets interesting and confusing is that it wont actually let me save the settings. Meaning, I can load up the utility to set the network paths, browse to the directory (/home/point/pntdata) have it all set, but when I click on OK, it does not save it. I've checked ownership, permissions, my smb.conf, everything I can think of, but it will not let me map the network path.
So i've come to a stalemate in how to fix this issue and need everyones help here.
I thought i'd throw a few things in here in hopes of getting a fix to this issue.
smb.conf:
[Point] comment = Point Program path = /home/point read only = no writable = yes browseable = yes create mode = 660 directory mode = 770 admin users = @domadm force group = +cm
/home/
drwxrwx--- 51 root cm 4096 May 29 15:12 point
I have made sure that the test user is in fact in the cm group. (The permissions, owner and group are the same down the following directories.)
The only other bit of information I can provide is some info from my logs:
[2003/05/29 17:37:25, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(243) bionic opened file PNTDATA/FOLDER.INI read=Yes write=No (numopen=1) [2003/05/29 17:37:25, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(243) bionic opened file PNTDATA/FOLDER.SEC read=Yes write=No (numopen=2) [2003/05/29 17:37:25, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(227) bionic closed file PNTDATA/FOLDER.SEC (numopen=1) [2003/05/29 17:37:36, 2] smbd/close.c:close_normal_file(227) bionic closed file PNTDATA/FOLDER.INI (numopen=0) [2003/05/29 17:38:42, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327) Allowed connection from (192.168.1.220) [2003/05/29 17:38:46, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327) Allowed connection from (192.168.1.220) [2003/05/29 17:38:51, 2] smbd/open.c:open_file(243)
PNTDATA is located in /home/point/PNTDATA
Not sure if this can help, but thought i'd put it in here.
One quick note: About 1 1/2 months ago, I was doing some testing with our new point software on another samba server. This one worked fine and allowed me to map the drives with problems at all. I pretty much made the owner and group nobody.nobody with 777 permissions. I tried this on my current setup but no luck.
I thank you for everyones help and really look forward to finding out what the problem is.
Best,
Jason
