From: Jeff Wiegley on 29 May 2010 04:30 I've been doing unix sys. admin for nearly 20 years and yet EVERY single time I have to setup samba I have configuration problems. Before we start let's clear up some common misunderstandings: I have googled for the answer. I have spent the last six hours doing so and trying various "suggestions". Most of these suggestions point to solutions involving chown or chmod. These are not the problems (or I will be very surprised). # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = CYTE.COM server string = CyteNAS netbios name = NAS hosts allow = 127., 10.0.10. [nas] comment = NAS path = /mnt/nas force user = nas force group = nas read only = No # cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd nas:500:75891A0CAAF2F9828AE88C0FE87091EF:E8C4E8E10FEE888764D18AD4A0AC61F5:[U ]:LCT-4C00625E: # grep nas /etc/passwd nas:x:500:500::/mnt/nas:/bin/bash # grep nas /etc/group nas:x:500: # ls -al /mnt/nas total 16 drwxrwxrwx 2 nas nas 4096 May 28 17:01 . drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 May 28 15:04 .. So before you tell me about "permission" problems please note the following 1) The permissions on all the files is 777... EVERYBODY can do anything. 2) samba IS configured to force the user and group to the owner of the share path anyways. 3) The group and user exist and they have their passwords configured correctly. I can map the share on my Windows 7 workstation. But any attempt to create anything yields a pop-up window that says: "You need permission to perform this action" nas(\\NAS) Space free: 89.7 GB Total size: 97.0 GB Why am I getting ANY permission problems??? Frankly. I don't think it is a permission problem. (I set log level to 10; the output is long so I won't include it because I looked through it and didn't see any errors reported or any mention of permission denied.) GRRRRRRR! It gets worse. a 90GB NAS storage is pretty useless. The NAS is actually a 6TB Raid5 array with an XFS filesystem. But if I actually mount it.... # /etc/init.d/smb stop # mount /mnt/nas # ls -al /mnt/nas total 8 drwxrwxrwx 2 nas nas 6 May 28 18:11 . drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 May 28 15:04 .. see... no difference in permissions or ownership but now it is a mount point. Now I can't even map the samba share at all. All I get is a window that says: "Attemping to connect to \\NAS\nas" (Cancel) And it never seems to go away. and yes, under both cases I can simply login as the user nas via ssh and touch/mkdir or do anything I want and the files get created just fine. Frankly I think this is another case of Windows presenting the user with a misleading diagnostic "Permission" problem when something much more fundamental is going wrong with Samba.
