Directory and Authentication / Shared directory permission changes not applied until samba restart

« on: August 19, 2019, 10:59:15 am »

Hi I've set up a Zentyal 6 install with a view to removing an old windows fileserver and have a couple of thing I'd like to sort out before going any further.

1. When I change the permissions for a share in the web interface these changes are not applied to the AD domain until I restart smbd and nmbd, is this the correct behaviour and is ther eany way to modify this?

2. The fileserver shows a user's home directory by default, I know I can change this by commenting it out in "/etc/samba/shares.conf" but every time I save another change the original file structure s restored is there away I can modify this?

Installation and Upgrades / zentyal 5.0 delveopment install failing

« on: June 14, 2017, 05:30:02 pm »

Hi I'm currently in the process of evaluating zentyal to possibly replace a couple of our local windows server but I'm having some initial setup issues:

The first is that the server I'm installing to uses raid 1 for redundancy, zentyal installs to this Ok but does not boot after installation, i fixed this by booting from a live distro and marking the first partition as bootable (apparently no done by the installer ubuntu server does this as well).

The second is that once installed my NIC does not seem to be configured correctly and is not initialised. All zentyal server configuration fails after this point

The NIC was detected and configured by the installer and I tried playing around by /etc/network/interfaces but wasn't sure if the card was being managed by another utility.

Anyone seen anything similar before?
