Setup: Running Gentoo linux 2.6X kenel
Samba 3.0.23
I'm having a time getting samba working after having it working for
mnths. I did do a major update world.
That kind of update on Gentoo can involve many other apps.
At the end when adjusting files under /etc/ that may have newer
versions, I rejected the new smb.conf keeping my old config which is
still in place so the trouble may be coming from somewhere else.
It seems something has suddenly chagned whereby I cannot access any
linux shares from windows.
Attempting to get some details of the failure from the logs seem
fruitless since the log output is literally huge and nothing stands
out with big letters `error'.
Maybe some kind soul can tell me what would be usefull to post here.
I'm just not prepared to understand 670 lines of output for one
connection attempt. And that is with `log level' cranked down to 3.
The following area from one of the two logs produced by this
connection attempt, seems to be important but even this small chunk
defies understanding far as I can see:
The `Sid' lines seem to be telling something but who knows what. Then
finally it shows a ACCESS_DENIED.
`reader' and `Harry' are the only two authorized users and listed as
`valid users' on each share in smb.conf. (I've inlined smb.conf for
reference following this message and log output.)
What provoked this piece of log is an attempt from machine `harvey' to
login to samba share on machine `reader'. The incoming user is also
`reader'.
