Hi folks, Yesterday I installed a fresh new file server with 2x250GB HDDs in RAID-1 (mirror), set up system (minimal system, no desktop environment) and configured Samba with share (open) permissions. Then I went to backup server (windows 2003 sbs) and started dumping data to new server. I got some errors like "Cannot copy file: Network Resource no longer exists". I went to logs and examined the one relative to my machine (others don't show errors), and got this, repeated a lot of times. Code: [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(785) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(751) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(785) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(751) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(785) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(751) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(785) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(751) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [2008/01/04 11:38:56, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(950) 192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100) connect to service Shared initially as user nobody (uid=65534, gid=65534) (pid 2685) [2008/01/04 11:39:07, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(1150) 192.168.1.100 (192.168.1.100) closed connection to service Shared I am almost sure that I misconfigured smb.conf, but I'm wondering what's wrong. The only thing I'm not sure (but in old server, running CentOS4.5, was not a problem) is that my NT domain is "name".local (built when we had no server farm) and in smb.conf I put "name".com. I report here my smb.conf edits (other stuff is as the standard file): Code: ## Browsing/Identification ### # Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of workgroup = mydomain.tld ####### Authentication ####### # "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account # in this server for every user accessing the server. See # /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html # in the samba-doc package for details. security = share # Zeus Shared Folder # [Shared] comment = Zeus Shared Folder writable = yes locking = no path = /Shared public = yes browseable = yes read_only = no guest ok = yes I'm sorry for the long post, but I think to have been quite explanatory Thanks in advance, Morenz
Code: zeus:~# ls -l /etc/samba/smbpasswd -rw------- 1 root root 0 2008-01-04 11:27 /etc/samba/smbpasswd Do I have to chmod it 644, while it cannot be accessed from "other" users (I read in logs that when connecting from a windows machine to a share, it uses nobody user)? Thanks Morenz
