The problem I'm having is that if I spec a user id (valid user) in the share, I don't get prompted for a password when trying to access it from a Windows host. If however in the share options I spec a group name (ie. valid user = @aiswf), I get prompted for an account and password. The user accounts and groups have been created on the samba server. We joined the Windows AD domain (net rpc.)
Why is a group share access behaving differently from a user share access? Am I missing a config/setup step ?
Below is my smb.conf
Code:
[global]
workgroup = DEVENG
server string = %h Samba File Server %v
hosts allow = 127. 10. 172.
smb ports = 139 445
# Domain Members Options
security = domain encrypt
passwords = yes
passdb backend = tdbsam
password server = *
domain master = no
wins server = 10.XXX.XX.XX,172.XX.XX.XXX
dns proxy = yes
deadtime = 10
# Browser Control Options
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 33
# Filesystem Options
map archive = no
map hidden = no m
ap read only = no
map system = no
store dos attributes = yes
hide dot files = no
#=== Share Definitions ===

Hello!
I am in a weird problem of not able to set quota on an ext4 file system. I have setup a logical volume on which this ext4 filesystem resides. It's going to be used by an application for dumping data. But we want to setup quota so that it does not consume all the free space of the lv. The... (5 Replies)
