Hello Samba, I have a Samba file server which I have successfully joined to a domian controlled by a Windows 2003 domian controller. I cannot get the server to allow access to users who are members of a group with spaces in its name.
The domain has three (main) groups: - students - teachers - spaced users My Samba.conf has the following shared directories defined: [teachers] comment = teacher's shares writable = yes valid users = @teachers path = /home/groups/teachers writable = yes browsable = no create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 [students] comment = student's shares writable = no valid users = @teachers @students path = /home/groups/students create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 write list = @teachers [spaced] comment = test with spaces writable = yes valid users = "@spaced users" path = /home/spaced users create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 browsable = yes The following works fine: members of @teachers have access to both teachers and students shares members of @teachers can write to both teachers and students shares members of @students can only see the students shares But this does not work: "@spaced users" should be able to access the spaced share but cannot. On a Windows XP terminal on the network, any attempt to view the spaced shared by anyone (including members of the "spaced users" group) results in a login box popping up and no combination of user name or password will let you see the share. I am using Samba version 3.14 running on Fedora Core 4. I have included my full smb.conf Many thanks in advance, John
