In Fedora Core beta3 I'm using the same /etc/samba/smb.conf I used in shrike and that I use in SuSE and Mandrake. In all the others I can/could both read and copy files from Linux via the samba connected OS/2 or windoze machine. Now in FC, OS/2 can only see files on Linux, it can't copy anything to a local destination, saying "access denied". What's been changed for Samba 3 that broke OS/2?
My appologies on being so vague about this, but here goes:
I had a similar problem, and managed to track it down to the 'valid users = %S line in [homes] ie:
[homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 # If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user map to guest = bad user
Once I removed the 'valid users = %S' line it all behaved as it had with old samba.
Unfortunately I do not recall how I arrived at this - I may have looked at the default smb.conf that samba server package comes with on Fedora, and noticed it's absence - .
Give it a try ..
Cheers, Michael
