SAMBA is connecting to the share somehow as root
I'm running Solaris 10 with Samba server. The client is a Windows XP desktop. I have set this up for various other servers and this is the first time that I'm seeing the problem.
I have a prod & test solaris samba server configured exactly the same and the share is encrypted by Vormetric. The production server works like a charm, NO PROBS. But the test server doesn't. Samba access is restricted by IP but I'm using the guest account for the connection. In order for my app to work, the files coming across have to be a specifc user - encr.
FACTS
I am able to connect to the share from the Windows client.
I can access and create dirs & files from the Windows client.
The files and directories are created from the client with the correct ownership & file permissions encr
Files created from the client appear encrypted to the encr user on the server.
Files created on the server as encr are accessible but encrypted to the user on the Windows XP client.
Verified all permission on the directories in the path
Becasue of how Vormetric has the encryption configured, I can identify that something is occurring as root somewhere in the samba transactions but I do not know what. This works on prod but not test and I have configured samba the same on both. But, since these servers I inherited, there may have been something configured before that I'm missing.
any suggestions

Is there something like .start_share or .stop_share scripts in Samba where I could run some commands?:confused:

vfs_readonly
VFS_READONLY(8) System Administration tools VFS_READONLY(8)
NAME
vfs_readonly - make a Samba share read only for a specified time period
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = readonly
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_readonly VFS module marks a share as read only for all clients connecting within the configured time period. Clients connecting
during this time will be denied write access to all files in the share, irrespective of ther actual access privileges.
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
readonly:period = BEGIN, END
Only mark the share as read only if the client connection was made between the times marked by the BEGIN and END date specifiers. The
syntax of these date specifiers is the same as that accepted by the -d option of GNU date(1).
EXAMPLES
Mark all shares read only:
[global]
vfs objects = readonly
Mark the [backup] share as read only during business hours:
[backup]
path = /readonly
vfs objects = readonly
readonly:period = readonly:period = "today 9:00","today 17:00"
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 3.0.25 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
