I've been trying to run a .NET app on Windows 2008 against a Samba v3.6.1 server running on OpenSuse x64 v12.1 but keep running into problems.
What the .NET app is doing is trying to read the ACL for a directory using UNC path pointing to a directory below the "users" share on the samba server. The app is running as user Administrator. On the samba side the Administrator user has been given the following priviliges: SeSecurityPrivilege, SeRestorePrivilege, SeBackupPrivilege, and SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege. Specifically the .NET/C# method call being made is below: In this case srcFolderName is something like "\\SambaServer\users\Administrator": DirectorySecurity srcFolderSecurity = Directory.GetAccessControl(srcFolderName, AccessControlSections.All); Calling this method results in an Exception. I can see from a Wireshark trace that the exception corresponds to an error being returned from a call to NTCreateAndx for a user folder named "\Administrator" and Access Mask set to 0x01020080. The bit that seems to cause problems when set is the System Security bit (0x01000000). Originally before I had given user Administrator any privileges (using net rpc rights grant...), the NTCreateAndX response error was *STATUS_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD. After granting privileges the error changed to STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. * * * *Looking at the log.smbd with debugLevel = 10. I can see the following relevant trace info:* * * * [2012/02/23 12:35:24.190992, 10] smbd/open.c:1430(smbd_calculate_access_mask) smbd_calculate_access_mask: Access denied on file Administrator: rejected by share access mask[0x101F01FF] orig[0x01020080] mapped[0x01020080] reject[0x01000000] [2012/02/23 12:35:24.191049, 10] smbd/open.c:1761(open_file_ntcreate) open_file_ntcreate: smbd_calculate_access_mask on file Administrator returned NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [2012/02/23 12:35:24.191107, 5] smbd/files.c:464(file_free) freed files structure 9877 (0 used) [2012/02/23 12:35:24.191162, 10] smbd/open.c:3420(create_file_unixpath) create_file_unixpath: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [2012/02/23 12:35:24.191216, 10] smbd/open.c:3700(create_file_default) create_file: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED Other things I've tried: - Adding "admin users = Administrator" to the [users] share section in the smb.conf - Doing chmod 777 on all folders from the [users] share root and below Am I missing anything? Is there anything else I can try to see if I can get past the NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED? Thanks in advance for your help/suggestions. * * * * * -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
