Samba and Vista

[RLSinOP]

There are some documented issues between Vista and Samba, specifically Vista's backup utility.  I've got it working on a non-EBOX server by tweaking user/group priveledges, the smb.conf file, and making sure the latest version of Samba is installed.  When trying to run Vista backup to an EBOX file share, I'm getting an error message that says "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" (the Vista backup utility seems to be creating a GUID file).

The share I've created is accessible to a group (backup) with admin rights.
A valid Vista user is a member of the "backup" group
The share's directory is set 670 and ebox__:USERS__
Here's what's in the current smb.conf:

[backup]
 comment = backup
 path = /home/samba/shares/backup
 valid users = @"backup"
 read list =
 write list =
 admin users = @"backup"
 read only = No
 browseable = Yes


I also tried backing up to the users "home" directory - same result

Looking for some help/ideas - thanks.

You should be able to modify the samba template that is used to generate the actual /etc/samba/smb.conf in /usr/share/ebox/stubs/samba/smb.conf.mas

Please report back the configuration that works ok with Vista.

OK, I'll work on it and let you know.
