[Samba] Accesing shares from ClearCase

2003-02-24 Thread Carlos Moro Garrido

Hi all,

Just a novice in this world of Samba.
I got a question, probably too simple.
No problem to access share file systems and mount ClearCase
vobs. Log shows access granted to NT userid belonging to the
right UNIX group.

Then, editing  a file ( using a view thru Explorer), log shows
another non authenticate user called clearcase_albd trying to
be validated.
I guess due to that, mvfs errors pop up

Any idea?

You would be better off asking this question on the CCIUG mailing list
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). However, this is a very common error with Samba
and ClearCase. 

I'll assume that you are also getting a text_file_delta error message
about being unable to construct cleartext version.

If so, the problem is likely that the account running the ALBD service
on the PC (clearcase_albd) is not mapped to a valid UNIX user.

We usually map this account with /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map (or
wherever you have Samba installed) with an entry

unix vob owner = clearcase_albd

If your account is something other than clearcase_albd, you'll have to
change the entry accordingly. 

Once you make this change, it is not necessary to stop and restart
Samba. New connections will pick up the mapping automatically.

If this doesn't solve your problem, we'll need more information about
the exact error messages -- and this problem would be more relevant on
the CCIUG mailing list than the Samba mailing list.
