Okay, we're doing a bit of system revamping at my work since our last file server crashed and burned in a horrible tragic failure (hard disk died). Anyways, we've stepped it up a notch with some nice hardware and the fileserver will be running linux (Redhat 9.0 currently). Anyways, I'm currently running into an issue. (I'm using samba 2.2.7a-8.9.0 for reference).

Anyways, we have a new W2K box setup that is hosting the domain. Samba has been setup to use the domain for authentication (security = domain). Anyways, general shares, like the public shares and the home directory shares seem to work without a problem. (For the home directories, it seemed like I had to add the unix user / their directory for the proper access to appear, but that makes sense since a folder needs to exist to be shared).

However, I'm trying to setup some shared directories for each "department" and restrict access to only them. Perhaps I am doing this wrong and someone can correct me with what's wrong. Anyways, all I did was to add the "valid users" tag and I put in the username I was using. So the share in the smb.conf file was looking like this:

[Tech]
        browseable = no
        valid users = travman
        writeable = yes
        path = /home/groups/Tech

Obviously, I want the shares hidden, thus browseable is no. Am I missing something in the setup? When I authenticate I do not get this group to show up in the list.

I do get some interesting messages in the log files though. Here's the one associated with my computer:

[2003/06/16 16:00:07, 0] smbd/password.c:domain_client_validate(1556)
domain_client_validate: could not fetch trust account password for domain MTC1
---------


the smbd.log file issues the following failure:

2003/06/16 16:00:07, 0] smbd/oplock_linux.c:linux_init_kernel_oplocks(287)
Failed to setup RT_SIGNAL_LEASE handler


-------


Anyways, if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I'm apprehensive in actually switching everyone to the new servers until they are properly setup and tested.


Thanks!!!
