On Dec 14 David Timms did spake thusly:
/var/log/yum.log.1:Oct 27 08:38:57 Installed: samba.i386 3.0.23c-2
What was the last known working normally date ?
Way after that. However, I'd not restarted it in ages, so it could be
that...
write list = +users
This just gives me "permission denied" when I try and write...
So what was the message before ?
the same error with +users as with @users
It's as if samba can't find the group...
This didn't work either. Permission denied. The directory in question has
775 perms.
owner:group ?
selinux perms ?
$ ls -laZ
SELinux isn't running and all permissions are r+w for both the user
(nobody) and the group (users) in that partition (it's a software/video
share)
Why would a group created using system-config-users a) not show up when I
type "groups" and am a member of it and
On my machine:
$ groups
davidt
On my machine the "users" group has magically reappeared. Oddness ;)
$ grep davidt /etc/group
davidt:x:500:
vmware-users:x:501:davidt
This appears to be the same that you are seeing.
b) not appear to samba, the
filesystem appears to see it fine...and it appears in /etc/groups and
/etc/gshadow
If the group ID is <500 then
it would only be shown if you show system accounts, or v-v.
Yeah, I know. The group ID is over 500 so should (and now does) show up
when I do "group", maybe it took a while for the system to notice the new
"users" group somehow.
On my PC, cat /etc/group|grep users
users:x:100:test,devel
cat /etc/group | grep users
pppusers:x:44:
popusers:x:45:
slipusers:x:46:
users:x:558:scott
Perhaps there is a selinux tie up with the groupid ? Easy to temporarily turn
of selinux in case it is involved. If it works, I think the answer is to
label the smb share as type share {I forget the exact xyz_t}. Google selinux
site:.redhat.com
maybe:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2006-February/msg00162.html
I'm not actually using SELinux...it's off by default.
So. My group is now showing up correctly as a group in the filesystem and
when I type "groups".
However. Using the group "users"
drwxrwxr-x 18 nobody users 680 Dec 13 08:43 download/
if smb.conf contains
write list = @users
force group = users
I get an error upon connection, "No such group"
if I comment out the force group bit
I'm left with
write list = @users
;force group = users
I get permission denied
I'm also in the "wheel" group. If I change "users" to "wheel" for both
"write list" and "force group" then it works as expected
write list = @wheel
force group = wheel
I'm still not much more the wiser...is this a bug?
