Installation and Upgrades / Re: Manually editing smb.conf - impact on GUI admin

« on: November 02, 2010, 04:57:56 pm »

I believe the solution is to edit:

/usr/share/ebox/stubs/samba/smb.conf.mas

... and restart samba.

Installation and Upgrades / Manually editing smb.conf - impact on GUI admin

« on: November 02, 2010, 04:07:25 pm »

Hello

Please advise as to whether editing the samba config will conflict with the GUI interface and if so, how to make changes so that no conflicts occur. I'd like to change the general options (not the shares etc) in order to experiment with improving performance.

ebox 1.4.8 installed from ebox ISO.

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Samba: non-admin users cannot write to shares [RESOLVED]

I have tried the various "confirmed to work" registry changes, including the one given by:

http://trac.ebox-platform.com/raw-attachment/wiki/Document/HowTo/Windows7Support/ebox-win7.reg

... to no avail. The Windows 7 PC simply times-out trying to connect to the ebox server and has exactly the above changes applied. It is however, able to connect to shares on other Windows XP PCs.

I resolved my issue by adding the following repo to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ebox/1.4-proposed/ubuntu hardy main

and running:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

So, now we're able to connect Windows XP machines, but absolutely nothing works with Windows 7, despite trying out the registry changes recommended on various forums. Will be downgrading that client machine to Windows XP... makes zero sense to waste additional time on a single workstation in an office.

I see my hunch was correct. ACLs are already included in the version I had installed, so will revert. Here's the reference post:

... which means my issue is not resolved yet

Thanks Eric, finally a response

I'm not convinced that downgrading from 1.4.4-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1 to 1.4.3-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hard1~acl1_all.deb would be the correct solution?

Surely the former already has ACLs? I ask this, because my samba partitions /home and /srv/nas are already mounted with ACL support.

I have done the above (remotely) despite my concerns and will test them tomorrow and report back.

Please could someone attempt to help. Let me know what other information I should share in order to trouble-shoot this.

Thanks.

Installation and Upgrades / Samba: non-admin users cannot write to shares [RESOLVED]

Hi there

I'm using an up-to-date system, running ebox 1.4.4.

I have added users to the 'everyone' group and given the 'everyone' group read and write access to the share /home/samba/shares/projects.

The problem:

WinXP users who are not admin users cannot write to the share, despite read/write being configured.

Samba config: http://www.pastie.org/1027959

Possible caveat (quotas on filesystems?):

Any clue as to why users can't write to the share, even though they're configured to have write access? Has ebox failed to update the LDAP DB properly?

Thanks
