Installation and Upgrades / samba-common - update

« on: June 19, 2017, 09:06:40 am »

Hi,

is it really a good idea to update samba-common, when all the other components depend on a specific version of it?

To reenable my fileserver (zentyal 4.1) I downloaded the last version from /old/pool/main/s/samba which allowed me to reinstall samba and several other packages that had been removed due to not met dependencies.

I can't get the fileserver working.
Whenever I create a share that doesn't have guest access activated, samba does not come up again. In ebox.log i get:

Command output: .
Exit value: 1
2010/10/05 10:53:40 ERROR> Service.pm:675 EBox::Module::Service::__ANON__ - Error restarting service: root command mkdir -p /home/samba/shares/Software
chmod 0670 /home/samba/shares/Software
chown ebox:__USERS__ /home/samba/shares/Software failed.
Error output: chown: invalid group: `ebox:__USERS__'

When trying to manually chown anything to the group "__USERS__" it fails as well.
Shouldn't the groups be synced by ldap as well?
Is there a way for me to debug this?

tia,

Installation and Upgrades / Users and Groups Master / Slave

« on: October 06, 2010, 11:56:56 am »

is this

We must only install the usersandgroups module in the master Zentyal. If you install any module that depends on usersandgroups in the master, such as asterisk, mail or samba, the master/slave setup won't work. In order to install that module we'll run:

(from Document/HowTo/EBoxMasterSlaveSetup)
still valid?
I would really appreciate, if it were possible to include other services on the master...
Thats actually, because I run into problems with synchronization all the time  (see next post)

Installation and Upgrades / Samba shares, ACL

« on: August 19, 2010, 02:12:32 pm »

Hi,

I need to give the permissions "Read and write" and "Adminstrator" to a group.
This was no problem up to and including version 1.4.
Now I get an error "User/Group group/xxxx already exists"

Background:
This share is read only for most users (group AllUsers). The "select few" who may write need Administrator rights, since "read and write" only allows to change ones own files.
Adminstrator rights however doesn't allow you to write, when you are also in a group that only has read permission :-/
Therefore I need "Read and Write" as well!
(Or an added entry of all "admin users" into "write list" in the smb.conf, which in my opinion should be there anyways...)

How can I accomplish this?

Installation and Upgrades / eBox upgrade without internet?

« on: April 16, 2009, 11:51:37 am »

I would like to upgrade an existing eBox (v0.12) that has very limited access to the internet. (no DNS, just a http-proxy)
Is it possible to either get apt to work through the http proxy
or to tweak it to use the new cd as its source?

Installation and Upgrades / eGroupware, some glitches

« on: April 16, 2009, 11:32:13 am »

Hi,

after installing the new version of eBox, there are some small problems:

- when changing user settings in eGroupware (admin/user accounts), after saving the user data within eBox gets "corrupted": the username in eBox is set to the full name. To recover from this I have to change (in eGroupware) the content of "Name" to that of "Login-ID".

- within eBox "tracker" is missing on eGroupware/Default_applications. Is there a problem with it or was it simply overlooked? "bookmarks" is missing as well...

- when a user sets permissions (e.g. calendar), these are deleted when I change his settings in eBox. I created a new permission template in eBox to give the users a less cluttered desktop. After changing to this in the user settings, all ACL settings in eGroupware are deleted :-(

- the articles in the knowledge base don't get published. Might that be connected with the message "Installed crontab: crontab not found or not executable !!!" (in Admin_Menu/Asynchronous_timed_services)?
Strange thing is: even when I try to publish the articles manually I get "You have not the proper permissions to do that "...

Any ideas?

Installation and Upgrades / samba permissions - administrator rights

« on: April 14, 2009, 11:15:25 am »

We had the same problem as reported by mutation: a user with read-write permission not beeing able to change or delete files, another user had created.
Thinking this might be 'working as designed' we used administrator rights instead of read-write.
This however leads to other problems:

When I create a share with group A being allowed 'read' and group B as 'administrator' a user belonging to both groups  cannot write in this share.
The corresponding sequenz in the smb.conf is as follows:

[share]
 comment = share
 path = /home/samba/shares/share
 valid users = @"A", @"B"
 read list = @"A"
 write list =
 admin users = @"B"
 read only = No
 browseable = Yes
 force create mode = 0660
 force directory mode = 0660

Right now my workaround for this is to give read-write - permission to group B as well, which results in
 write list = @"B"
in the smb.conf

btw. what is the difference between 'read-write' and 'adminstrator' rights?
