When did this stop working, and exactly what error message are you
seeing?
Samba stopped working *before* I deleted and recreated the group, that's
why I did it.
# rpm -q fedora-release
# rpm -qa|grep samba
# grep samba /var/log/yum*
Which I've done. Any other ideas?
The @group is not working in fc6's current version.
smb.conf:
A name starting with a '@' is interpreted as an NIS netgroup first (if
your system supports NIS), and then as a UNIX group if the name was not
found in the NIS netgroup database.
But there is a weird thing with nis where it is failing, and hence never
giving smb useful results.
You can
- in /etc/samba/smb/conf change the @ to + {look in unix groups first}
or
- in /etc/nsswitch.conf set netgroup: files {which worked for me}
There is some similar bugs such as
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3741
but their resolution is noted as 3.0.23b, and fc6 uses 3.0.23c
