Zentyal 3.3 File Sharing

[DantePasquale]

Hi,

I've installed Zentyal Server 3.3 in a test environment to evaluate replacing an expired MS SBS 2003 server. I'm just going though the document and creating/enabling items in the order that the docs go through them.

I've come to creating/configuring File Sharing. It works great if I set the Share Path to "Directory Under Zentyal". However when I specify a directory it fails.

For this example, I'm creating a share called "Accounting" under /var/shares I get the error:
Path not allowed. It cannot be under /var/shares

The zentyal.log file can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7046207/
/etc/samba/smb.conf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7046240/

Permissions/acl on the directories:

Code: [Select]

ls -l /var | grep shares
drwxrwx---+  4 root __USERS__  4096 Mar  5 16:58 shares

getfacl /var/shares
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: var/shares
# owner: root
# group: __USERS__
user::rwx
user:ebox:rwx
user:nobody:r-x
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::---

which look OK to me when compared to the /home/samba/shares ...

Code: [Select]

ls -l /home/samba | grep shares
drwxrwx---+ 5 root __USERS__ 4096 Mar  5 16:49 shares

getfacl /home/samba/shares
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: home/samba/shares
# owner: root
# group: __USERS__
user::rwx
user:ebox:rwx
user:nobody:r-x
group::rwx
mask::rwx
other::---
/etc/fstab entry:

Code: [Select]

/dev/mapper/vg00-lvshares /var/shares ext4 defaults,acl,user_xattr 0 2

Dante, someone is going to kill me because I have just spent they day trying to explain the value exchange of beta testing.

Just at this period of time with a week to a new release you might me better for evaluation using 3.2.

If you are new to Zentyal its feature packed so it should keep you busy.

Samba4 was the last major development and Openchange the opensource exchange solution is very much central to 3.4.

I get the feeling much is being done in this area so for a matter of a week (15th)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/zentyal/files/Old%20versions/

Or if you feel comfortable jump right in with the beta

There have been a few unconfirmed bug reports in 3.3 which may have 3.4 work slipping into 3.3
