I'm having a time getting samba working after having it working for mnths. I did do a major update world. At the end when adjusting files under /etc/ I rejected the new smb.conf keeping my old config which is still in place.
It seems something has suddenly chagned whereby I cannot access any linux shares from windows. Attempting to get some details of the failure from the logs seem fruitless since the log output is literally huge and nothing stands out with big letters `error'. I'm just not prepared to understand 670 lines of output for one connection attempt. And that is with `log level' cranked down to 3. The following area seems to be important but even this small chunk defies understanding far as I can see: The `Sid' lines seem to be telling something but who knows what. Then finally it shows a ACCESS_DENIED. reader and Harry are the only two authorized users What provoked this piece of log is an attempt from machine `harvey' to login to samba share on machine `reader'. The incoming user is also `reader'. [...] [2006/08/11 13:38:11, 3] lib/util_sid.c:string_to_sid(223) string_to_sid: Sid reader does not start with 'S-'.
