Hi, Hoping you can help. I've updated my samba server (PDC) from 3.0.10 to 3.0.14a as part of updating from FC3 to FC4. On FC3 Samba was working fine. I now find I cant see inside any of the shares, even though I can see the share names themselves and the directories are quite readable to Linux processes. So, e.g. I can see that I have a share "Users", but not the contents of it. With one exception all shares are empty/blank. The exception is that my "tmp" share includes 1 "file" called OSL_PIPE_500_SingleOfficeIPC_3d3cfaac9b18bd645001594325165, which of course doesn't exist in the filesystem. I have disabled selinux, checked the audit messages, checked all permissions and ACLs I know of and can't find a reason. it happens in both a winxp client and using kde smb:// in konqueror. I have included a snippet of the log file for an smb:// read of my home directory. It is just finishing enumerating the files in the directory, but then seems to give up. I've just found that if you enter an smb:// directory path that exists, the log file shows that the correct directory is scanned, and I don't get a client error : the client behaves as if the dir is empty. However if I do the same thing in winxp, I do get a client error -- "Windows cannot find "...path..."
