Re: Strange things on server!!



Very strange!!

I checked the folder (there are a few) with ls -ls and the privs are as expected, read and write for group and owner, yet the user who is a member of the group is denied access ..... when using a PC client, when the same user logs in using a Mac client they can access the folder!

It seems the problem is with the SMB side of things, though I have no idea what is wrong!

Any ideas what could be screwed in Samba?

Many thanks

Well,
the permissions and rights are based on standard unix origin, so you should examine them using ls -ls command. What is the output of mentioned command from the affected directory?


Are you sure that the drives are ok? Did you check it?

Hi Folks

I have a few problems with a 10.3.9 Server....

I have problems with Groups (10.3.9 so obviously no ACLs). When I create a new group, users are not able to access files with group permissions (some can, some can't - most can't). If they are the owner it is fine. Most users (all but one - a tiger mac) are running Windows XP Pro. No guests are allowed on AFP or SMB. Its a PDC and WINS server, no active directory or anything funky. Everything works fine from the mac (afp), all the problems seem to be with windows clients!

I have recently changed the disks in the server - 2 Mirrored drives, so the disks 'should' be good, but I have run diskutil and it has identified 8 problems ...... overlapped extent allocation (file 1229921d) etc. etc.

Not sure what the diskutil error is but it does not seem able to fix it. Each time I run it finds the same things again!

The group issue is a bit of a nightmare though!

The existing groups work fine and I can add users, rename the groups, do anything I like to them and they work well. Any new groups however exhibit this weird behaviour which I don't understand!

Can anyone suggest a cure for this ailment?

Many thanks

Dave S
