Has anyone here who uses pkgin Samba come across a solution to the
some users on windows 7 clients experiencing access denied issue?
I've got quite alot of experience with Samba. A few question:
1. What version of Samba are you running?
The Samba 3.6 from pkgin.
2. Are you using a simple shares, Win NT4 domain, or active
directory? If a domain, is the Samba a domain controller?
LDAP, Win NT4 domain.
3. Do you have any other domain controllers on the subnet?
Yes.
There are a few different things that can cause access denied,
depending upon your answers to the question above. Most often this
comes down to incorrect name resolution at the client. It can't tell
where to auth from.
The problem is, it's only certain users on certain win 7 clients who
have the problem. They can try form another machine and all is good...
The problem never happens from XP or Linux clients.
It looks like the problem is ACL + specific machines related, if the
permissions on the problematic directories are changed to set the owner
to the user who can't see them (even with an allow ACE), it works. The
users have no problems from XP or Linux clients.
To cut a long story short, a small subset of users (there are about 1000
users, less than a dozen have issues) on a small subset of windows 7
machines can't access files with nontrivial ACLs, even if they have an
explicit allow ACE.
We used to get around the problem by using locally built Samba 3.0.33,
but that's so full of other problems, we want to move on.
