I have a set of Linux boxes with (nearly) working Samba configurations. Windows users can get in and work with shares. My one problem is that the local user "joe" is not the same as the domain user that logs into Samba. And that means that users cannot access their own home directories, unless I relax the Linux permissions.
This is not surprising, given the way Samba was configured -- but the question now is "how can I fix it?" I have played with the usermap, but haven't gotten that to work. And I would prefer not to have to map every user on every target box; there are a lot of them. It seems likely that there should be a global solution to this. The evidence for the problem is clear. Below is a listing of directory containing two files: one created under by the local Linux user, and one created by the same user on a Windows box connecting to the share: $ ls -l total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 joe users 3 Mar 2 03:40 File_Created_In_Linux -rwxrw-rw- 1 joe domain users 3 Mar 1 13:12 File_Created_In_Windows $ ls -n total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 12903 100 3 Mar 2 03:40 File_Created_In_Linux -rwxrw-rw- 1 16777217 16777216 3 Mar 1 13:12 File_Created_In_Windows And here is the Samba config: [global] workgroup = XXXXX realm = XXXXX.com netbios aliases = XXXXX security = DOMAIN password server = XXXXX wins server = XXXXX ldap ssl = no idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template homedir = /usr/acct/%U template shell = /bin/tcsh winbind cache time = 5 winbind use default domain = Yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 [myshare] path = /shares/test read only = No [homes] read only = No -- Thanks in advance for any light you might shine on this. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
