Installation and Upgrades / Re: File Sharing module (Samba) won't start

« on: February 16, 2015, 06:21:37 pm »

This came up highly on a Google search so I'll post what fixed this issue for me, I say "fixed" when really it's a temporary work around.

I ssh'd to the server:
    ps -A | grep samba
    pkill samba

On the web interface, I then clicked "restart" and it started.  There were about 10 or so samba processes all running, you see that with the ps -A command.  I don't think the "restart" command kills the bad samba processes and tries to start a new ones without getting rid of the old ones and thus; fails.

Installation and Upgrades / Linux perms vs Windows perms

« on: July 28, 2014, 05:12:47 pm »

Zentyal 3.4
RAID5 software mirror with 3 disks
Clients = all Windows 7 Pro SP1+

I have an odd situation I can't understand and it's all permissions related :-(

I have a folder share with subfolders and the folder perms are as follows:

Share <-- drwxrwx---+ root   Administrators
-- SubFolder1 <-- drwxrwx---+  root   Administrators
---- Files <-- drwxrwx---+  user1   __USERS__

To test I did the following in a different folder:
-- SubFolder2 <-- drwxrwx---+  user1  user1group
---- Files <-- drwxrwx---+  user1   user1group <-- Right click file in Windows == read/write but no modify so they can't "move" the file from the above folder to another folder somewhere else on the server BUT if I console in, su - user2 and rename the file via command line it renames or moves just fine.

* user1 is in user1group and user2 is in user1group (among others)

At this point I'm just confused - it's not working with either setup - the __USERS__ group nor the actual user1gropu that user 2 is a member of and windows doesn't seem to present the permissions properly when looking at it from that PC.

That PC is NOT a member of the domain but rather, maps it via \\ip_address\share to a drive letter (x:) and then they browse down x:\subfolder1, x:\subfolder2, etc, etc.

I'm so confused :-(
