users cannot access their home directory - new install

[holywacks]

Hello,

My scenario: Need a server for approx. 12 users (WinXP stations) to share files only. Also need to have a user friendly interface to manage users and groups, and a user friendly application to backup server data files from a station (GUI web browser interface preferably).

Installed eBox from ISO (eBox installer)
did apt-get update and atp-get upgrade
So Ubuntu 8.04 Server with eBox 0.12

All the config was done from the eBox GUI interface
   activated modules Network, Users and groups, ntp, file sharing, software and logs.

   configured eth0 with static IP 192.168.0.99
   
   configured gateway 192.168.0.1 and put it as default

   added two groups entreprise, student

   added three users linked to entreprise

   in file sharing general -
       working in file server mode with domain name matched with the WinXP stations and with quota at 0(no limit)
   in shares - added one share (commun) with Directory under eBox with access control to the group created earlier.

   At this point: from the stations, the users can see the commun folder and a personal folder but they don't have acces to it.

   I edited the file share to give administrative permissions to the group entreprise and now I have acces to the commun folder but the users still have no access to their personal folder.

What am I missing?

Also a folder called eBox-internal-backups shows on each stations that I want to get rid of!

Can you try add a new user and check if this new user has access to the share please?

Hi javi,
I added a new user from eBox GUI, assign to the same group and the same problem occured. No access to his personal folder.

As I said in other thread:

And also, it would be very helpful if you send me a bug report which can be downloaded if you access https://YOUR_IP/ebox/EBox/Bug

Please send it to my private address: juruen at warp dot es

Primary Group SID:  S-1-5-21-3818554400-921237426-3143208535-****

Make sure all the numbers for User and Primary Group SID are the same except the ones after the last hyphen.

Hello,

actually I have a very similar scenario as decribed and I do have User SID and Primary Group SID which are NOT the same.
How can this be repaired?

Greetings and Thanks;
