Re: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
Thanks Bill for the answer, I thought that you had forgotten me. No help, because I still have the problem. I thought the you had to put the users there, but no. I will try to update to the last version. Otherwise, thanks a lot. Best regards, Leo Bill Shirley ha escrit: Leo, The smbusers files is used when the Windows logon and linux logon do not match.

Re: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
I came in on the tail end of this so I don't know if this pertains to your problem or if I'll be of much help. I'm running LM 6.1 with Samba 2.07 and could access the Linux box fine from my wifes Win95 machine but couldn't access it from my Win98 system. I forgot that the encryped password setting in smb.conf. I made the appropriate registry change, rebooted my Win98 system and can now access the Linux machine. The details are here http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/SMB-HOWTO-7.html I hope this helps.

Re: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
Bill Shirley ha escrit: I don't see anything wrong with your share, but I don't understand it either. If "produ" is the only user that can access this share, why worry about user and group attributes? Well, it's a bit complicated. I will try to explain the situation. I have a linux box that works as a ftp server where a Xerox Docutech 135 is attached. Yes, a photocopier (a big photocopier, for mass production) uses the linux box as a "box" to save the jobs, and do it by ftp. Manage the files and the folder with the photocopier is slow, and annoying. As the people at work only knows M$ Windows I did a system that the people manage the jobs from a win box using samba to manage the files in the directory of the docutech. The problem was that from the win box I don't have any problems, but if I try to delete a job from the docutech (that had been created or copied from windows/samba) I cannot because the file has root owner. It's worried because I think that is a security hole because samba writes a file using root where the config say that has to be docutech owner. Produ is a normal user in the linux box that only use the samba and has a entry in /etc/passwd. And /home/users/docutech is the home directory of the docutech user and ../fitxers-docutech a normal directory of docutech home directory. And the cat /etc/smbusers Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ... root = administrator admin nobody = guest pcguest smbguest Well, thanks a lot.

Everything works normally but I have realised of one big problem. I have a directory shared with the windows users and in the smb.conf I have a selected an option that say the force user = x for that share. Howeber, it does't have this behaviour and change the user to root. I think that it can be a security hole, and I need help to solve this. Please, any ideas. Leo Best regards. Pd. I don't have tested that option to upgrade to the 2.07 version. In mdk 7.1 the version is older that the new (I think) and I would like to know if I will have problems upgrading it. Thank's.

RE: [expert] Strange problem with the users with Samba
I'm still a bit confused on your problem. I had several Samba problems in the same configuration area as well and unintentionally became quite knowledgable at the million ways NOT to configure Samba. Perhaps you could provide a 'ls -l' of the dir itself plus its contents. Here is an example of a locked-down directory on my system that is used for development. It was the best I could do with the notoriously poor security in Windows. I could have used masks of 0660 as well but most Windows boxes seem intent on declaring everything executable (and this directory is not accessed in Linux normally).
