Sorry I must have had some miscommunication here. I did apply those fix patches for it, and it did indeed fix everything. I swapped it back to follow symlinks = no and everything was just fine until last week sometime. The problem was SIMILAR in nature after the updates from sometime during the second week in May, so I came back here to see if there was anything from those recent updates that could have caused the similar circumstances I mentioned e.g.:
"when I went to load a share on another machine (a Mac), it wouldn't let me get past the main folder, but this time it wasn't empty, it simply told me I didn't have the proper permissions, when it should have." When I switched follow symlinks = yes again it allows me access to the folders that were previously denied to me (but visible, unlike the initial issue). I wasn't sure whether to start a new ticket or just come back here and query you guys as it's similar in nature it could have potentially been a branch off the initial bug that this and the other articles are tied to. So I decided that this would be the better place to come and find out rather than starting a new ticket that would either be wholly unnecessary or just add to the original as a duplicate. Sorry for the confusion - and incidentally - apparently wasting your time, I will try and find the bug that this issue correlates with. grant -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1676029 Title: After upgrade, ALL of Samba's shares appear empty on OS X To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1676029/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
