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
samba-common-3.0.23c-2
samba-client-3.0.23c-2
~]# grep samba /var/log/yum*
/var/log/yum.log.1:Oct 27 08:37:09 Erased: samba
/var/log/yum.log.1:Oct 27 08:37:14 Erased: samba-swat
/var/log/yum.log.1:Oct 27 08:38:57 Installed: samba.i386 3.0.23c-2
What was the last known working normally date ?
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...
So what was the message before ?
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.
owner:group ?
selinux perms ?
$ ls -laZ
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
On my machine:
$ groups
davidt
$ grep davidt /etc/group
davidt:x:500:
vmware-users:x:501:davidt
This appears to be the same that you are seeing.
b) not appear to samba, the
filesystem appears to see it fine...and it appears in /etc/groups and
/etc/gshadow
If the group ID is <500 then
it would only be shown if you show system accounts, or v-v.
On my PC, cat /etc/group|grep users
users:x:100:test,devel
Perhaps there is a selinux tie up with the groupid ? Easy to temporarily
turn of selinux in case it is involved. If it works, I think the answer
is to label the smb share as type share {I forget the exact xyz_t}.
Google selinux site:.redhat.com
maybe:
