Re: [Samba] unable to log on to Samba shares remotely
I managed to solve my problem by upgrading to Samba 3.6.4 and dropping and recreating user2 using pdbedit. As I compiled Samba 3.6.4 from the source code and used make install without first deleting any file from the destination folder, my smb.conf and passdb.tdb did not have to be recreated. This issue can be closed.

From that moment on I was also no longer able to log on with user1 remotely. As I thought there might be a problem inside the database I shut down smbd and nmbd, removed passdb.tdb and secrets.tdb, and restarted the daemons. This resulted in the two tdb files to be recreated after which I added user1 and user2 again using pdbedit -a. Again, I could only access the shares using either of these users directly from server1 but not from any of the other servers. Then I shut down the daemons again, restored the initial tdb files and restarted the daemons. With the initial tdb files back in place, I can login again remotely using user1 but not with user2 (even after I added the account again). Repeating my test

Are the unix accounts defined in /etc/passwd? I also find it interesting that the two users do NOT have user SID's that are sequential (or at least in a closer range.) Are you using idmap to allocate Can you run #wbinfo -n user1 #wbinfo -n user2 This will show the user sids of the users # wbinfo -s sid_of_user_one # wbinfo -s sid_of_user_two The name-to-sid and sid-to-name assignment should match up. Also try the following #id user1 # id YOURDOMAIN\user1 (if you are using winbind) #id user2 # id YOURDOMAIN\user2 On 06/26/12 08:25, Claesen Dirk wrote: Dear, I have a working Samba 3.5.6 running on one of my servers onto which (existing) users can successfully log on. Recently, I needed to add some projects and some users but I cannot succeed in letting these new users access the shares. The smb.conf file is very small and I had only 4 users until now. In the following smb.conf, projA_dirs is only accessed by user1, while projB_dirs is the new project I need to add and this one will be accessed by user2 user1 is accessing projA_dirs since years without any problem, user2 is the one I fail to add.
