hi jerry,

i thought this would never get fixed, because i think i hit the same problem already last year.

[Samba] [Problem] Samba v3 Errors when group and user exists with       same 
name]

jerry said:

Windows won't allow a user and groupw ith the same name.
Not much we can do about that. However, if you establish a
group mapping entry and set the ntgroup value to a
different string, things will work out ok.

so are you talking about a issue on linux side and samba or windows side and samba?

Josh,

We have a Linux user and group with the same name (username prox, group name prox) and a Samba share
with "force user = prox" set. Since upgrading from Samba
3.0.21b to Samba 3.0.23a, that share no longer works.
smbclient gives the following error when connecting to
the share:

tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

The Samba server logs the following error:

[2006/08/07 09:38:26, 1] auth/auth_util.c:create_token_from_username(1060)
 prox is a Domain Group, not a user

So Samba no longer likes having a user and group by the same name. Is this an intentional change
in Samba 3.0.23, or is it a bug?  I don't
remember seeing anything about it in the release notes.

We think that we have this fixed in the current
SAMBA_3_0_RELEASE.  Would you mind testing this
and letting me know?  You can grab it from
svn://svnanon.samba.org/samba/branches/SAMBA_3_0_RELEASE
or rsync;//rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/samba_3_0_release.

I'll hold 3.0.23b until I hear from you.  Thanks.






cheers, jerry
