Title: Re: Tiger - AD-Users - Samba problem - copying only first ofMultiple Files -FIXED???
Apple may have fixed their AD-plugin so that the permissions problem that existed when mounting SMB shares that don’t offer the user full share-level control permissions.

My quick test with the 10.4.4 updater appeared to allow me to use a modify-level share correctly.

If you’ve experienced this problem in the past, you may want to test it now and see if the shares now behave correctly for you.

Conversation: Tiger - AD-Users - Samba problem - copying only first ofMultiple Files
Subject: Re: Tiger - AD-Users - Samba problem - copying only first ofMultiple Files

I’ve e-mailed some people off-list, but I want to ask a question here of everyone dealing with this problem.

Does anyone know a way to force AD-bound Macs to not pass AD information when attempting to mount servers?

I’m trying to see if we can absolutely stop this, if we can work around the problem being discussed here.

We know from our tests that a local account on an AD bound computer can connect to our smb shares using a student’s name/pass and have correct operation of the share.  If we do the same from an non-AD bound mac, it also works.

The problem rears it head when a user logs in on an AD bound computer and is authenticated via AD.  once that has happened, even if we do a terminal connect to their smb share and include their name/pass in the connect string, the permissions problem will appear.   BUT if we log that user in, then do a sudo_mountsmbfs and use their credentials in the mount, the problem will go away.

We’ve tried setting the execute as of the mount binary to root.... as well as the scripts and apps we use to mount our smb shares... but this has not given the same results as the sudo mount....

So... as a test, we’re trying to stop the Macs from passing their AD information along when  mounting file servers...but we haven’t found a way to absolutely stop it.


We’ve tried a few things to do this...but haven’t been successful, so I won’t enumerate them here.

We’re open to suggestions.

If anyone’s heard anything definitive, or at least hopeful, from Apple on when they will get the AD plugin fixed so it at least works as well as it did under 10.3 in this respect, let us know that, too.

Thanks
