Samba acting oddly.

[Graeme Dargie]

I have a problem with Samba, well I "think" it is samba as one machine I have access to when I try to perform an action like create a new folder in my home folder windows spouts that I need permission and would I like to try again.

I guess some background would be useful at this point, I have 3 FreeBSD machines that were running 8.2 AMD 64, some kind souls on this list were able to help me get Samba working using Active Directory, I upgraded to 9.0 when it became available and everything seemed to be fine.

I happened to be needing to create a perl script that would allow two users to chat over a network, so rather than fiddling about with Linux and VM`s .. I just used two of my FreeBSD machines, this is when I noticed the issue.

Only one machine shows this problem, the others let me happily create / delete stuff in the home folder other shares on the problematic machine are fine.

The configuration files for all 3 machines is included below, but I just cannot seen to see why 2 work and 1 does as all three are running Samba35-3.5.6.2 so any help or pointers would be welcome.

Regards
Graeme



Machine Eris - samba works perfectly

Smb.conf looks like this

Both of these work with no issues.

However Amalthea which is the machine showing the problem, the smb.conf is the following

[global]

realm = UNIVERSE.GALAXY.LCL

template shell = /bin/csh
winbind cache time = 3600
winbind nested groups = yes
winbind use default domain = yes
winbind separator = |
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind offline logon = yes
