I use a lot of "force user" and "force group" directives on various shares. With smbstatus of Samba 2 I could always verify with a glance what uid and gid a particular service is being accessed as, with Samba 3 you can't. I'd REALLY like to see that come back to smbstatus.
Here's a real world example of my complaint... Samba 2 smbstatus output... Samba version 2.2.8a Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- htdocs schaefert cfusion 8004 medusa (192.168.0.5) Fri Jul 30 09:21:18 2004 optometry schaefert cfusion2 8004 medusa (192.168.0.5) Fri Jul 30 09:21:22 2004 Samba 3 smbstatus output... Samba version 3.0.2a PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 293 schaefert cfusion medusa (192.168.0.5) Service pid machine Connected at ------------------------------------------------------- htdocs 293 medusa Thu Jul 29 15:31:47 2004 optometry 293 medusa Thu Jul 29 15:30:45 2004 With Samba 3 I am connected to the optometry share with gid cfusion2 but there's no way to know that. Btw, no, smbstatus -v doesn't show it either. Basically this message is just a plea to the Samba developers to put back the uid and gid information.
