hi all

i have an FC4 box which authenticates its urses against a Windows Active Directory

i have created the followinf share on the samba server

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Labs]
  comment = LAB Staff's Share
  path = /home/share
  valid users = must asif faqhi adnan
  browseable = yes
  public = no
  writable = yes
  printable = no
  create mask = 0765

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

note that asif, faqhi, adnan and must all are the users of Active directory. they can logon to the sshd running on the same box and they can open their home directories on the same box in Windows Network places, for home directories the configuration is as following

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
  idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
  template homedir = /home/%U
  template shell = /bin/bash
  winbind use default domain = yes
  password server = 168.10.1.255
  realm = GCU.EDU.PK
[homes]
  comment = Home Directories
  browseable = no
  writable = yes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the problem is that when users open samba server in their network places, they can see their own home directory and the share named Labs. but when they try to access the Labs share, they get a message of access denied

do any one have any opinion on this
