Re: problem with samba...

On Dec 14 David Timms did spake thusly:

/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 ?

Way after that. However, I'd not restarted it in ages, so it could be that...

write list = +users
This just gives me "permission denied" when I try and write...
So what was the message before ?

the same error with +users as with @users
It's as if samba can't find the group...

This didn't work either. Permission denied. The directory in question has 775 perms.
owner:group ?
selinux perms ?
$ ls -laZ

SELinux isn't running and all permissions are r+w for both the user (nobody) and the group (users) in that partition (it's a software/video share)

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

On my machine the "users" group has magically reappeared. Oddness ;)

$ 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.

Yeah, I know. The group ID is over 500 so should (and now does) show up when I do "group", maybe it took a while for the system to notice the new "users" group somehow.

On my PC, cat /etc/group|grep users
users:x:100:test,devel

cat /etc/group | grep users
pppusers:x:44:
popusers:x:45:
slipusers:x:46:
users:x:558:scott

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:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2006-February/msg00162.html

I'm not actually using SELinux...it's off by default.

So. My group is now showing up correctly as a group in the filesystem and when I type "groups".

However. Using the group "users"

drwxrwxr-x  18 nobody users     680 Dec 13 08:43 download/

if smb.conf contains
write list = @users
force group = users
I get an error upon connection, "No such group"
if I comment out the force group bit
I'm left with
write list = @users
;force group = users
I get permission denied

I'm also in the "wheel" group. If I change "users" to "wheel" for both "write list" and "force group" then it works as expected
write list = @wheel
force group = wheel

I'm still not much more the wiser...is this a bug?
