Hi. I subscripted just now to the mailing list, but I've been using a Samba file server (PDC) on Debian for about 2.5 years now. Users are almost all WinXP SP3.
No users are complaining but since I changed everything to one share with group permission on underlying directories I see a lot of errors in log.smbd. Anyone knows what the log message exactly means? I guess it has something to do with permissions. Maybe WinXP trying to access subdirectories it can't? It's all about this folder: drwxrwxr-x 14 root root 4096 2009-06-26 13:36 newton_share Subdirectories are restricted to specific groups. Some people are part of one or more groups. drwxrws--- 8 root aankoopdienst 4096 2009-02-05 13:23 aankoopdienst drwxrws--- 10 root boekhouding 4096 2009-06-09 12:00 boekhouding drwxrws--- 5 root directie 4096 2009-06-16 10:58 directie drwxrws--- 9 root kindadministratie 4096 2009-06-09 08:31 kindadministratie drwxrws--- 2 root ortho_sociale 4096 2009-06-25 17:21 ortho_en_sociale drwxrws--- 2 root orthopedagogen 4096 2009-06-18 16:18 orthopedagogen drwxrws--- 30 root personeelsdienst 4096 2009-06-26 12:52 personeelsdienst drwxr-s--- 4 root plannen_koca 4096 2009-06-09 08:35 plannen_koca drwxrws--- 5 root sociale_dienst 4096 2009-02-03 16:05 sociale_dienst drwxrws--- 8 root technische_dienst 4096 2009-03-13 09:17 technische_dienst drwxrws--- 5 root uurrooster 4096 2009-06-09 08:33 uurrooster drwxrws--- 16 root veiligheid 16384 2009-06-09 08:33 veiligheid [Newton] comment = Gedeelde map op server Newton browseable = yes writeable = yes wide links = no write list = +domusers +domadmins path = /data/shares/newton_share force directory mode = 770 force create mode = 770 valid users = +domusers +domadmins create mode = 770 directory mode = 770 A sample of last hour: [2009/06/29 08:37:40, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for veiligheid/* [2009/06/29 09:02:17, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for orthopedagogen/* [2009/06/29 09:09:19, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for sociale_dienst/* [2009/06/29 09:11:18, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for personeelsdienst/* [2009/06/29 09:11:19, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for orthopedagogen/* [2009/06/29 09:11:22, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for personeelsdienst/* [2009/06/29 09:12:34, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for personeelsdienst/* [2009/06/29 09:12:58, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for sociale_dienst/* [2009/06/29 09:23:30, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for technische_dienst/* [2009/06/29 09:23:30, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for sociale_dienst/* [2009/06/29 09:30:31, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for technische_dienst/* [2009/06/29 09:30:31, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(985) reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for sociale_dienst/* Greetings, Koen Linders -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
