Today David Timms did spake thusly:
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*
FC6 with the latest samba
samba-3.0.23c-2

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}
write list = +users
This just gives me "permission denied" when I try and
write...
or
- in /etc/nsswitch.conf set netgroup: files {which worked for me}
This didn't work either. Permission denied. The directory in question has
775 perms.
This is all a red herring though, if I change the group in question to be
"wheel" then it all works correctly. So partly fixed, but no idea why my
"users" group has suddenly stopped working...
Why would a group created using system-config-users a) not show up when I
type "groups" and am a member of it and b) not appear to samba, the
filesystem appears to see it fine...and it appears in /etc/groups and
/etc/gshadow
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
