I also ran into this same exact problem; Samba shares worked without a problem from Ubuntu 7.04 and upgrade to 7.10. Some relatively recent patch(es) in about the April timeframe broke the connectivity. I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and the problem is still occurring.
I was able to get a partial solution by using webmin to work on the smb.conf file, suggesting to me that this might be partially configuration related. I only have a partial solution as I have multiple shares and am now able to access 3 of them (drives in NTFS format, moved over from Win2K system; root/root owner/group 755 permissions) are working. The other shares are consistently giving a Windows network access error (ext format, fred/fred owner/group 755 permissions). Like a number of other people I have removed and reinstalled Samba in various configurations. -- Ubuntu Dapper Samba shares - broken for some https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/47386 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
