Eraser-EMC2,
When you use the WebUI to change permissions on the shares, do you see the accounts listed under local users or domain users or both?
Earlier, when updating the share permissions via the webui wasn't working, I was able to see my users in both listings...
I think I've fixed the issue with the webui now, and I no longer see any users or groups listed under "domain users" and "domain groups". I'm wondering if that is related to the problem, although I don't quite know what action I did when setting up the PDC caused it to show the users and groups there.
Here's what I did to get my WebUI working again with share permissions:
- - Made a backup of my smb.conf (the one that is configured as a PDC).
- Used the webui to turn off Microsoft Networking (samba) altogether.
- Used the webui to turn it back on (I noticed it ran /usr/bin/setup_smb.sh). The PDC was now gone.
- Attempted to change share permissions in the webiu and it worked.
- Shutdown samba
- Changed the minimum in the smb.conf to make it a PDC again (see note below).
- Startup samba
- Attempted to change share permissions in the webiu and it still works!
I'm going to keep tweaking my smb.conf to make it more like the one that wasn't working for me before I disabled samba altogether and see if I can find the specific setting that broke it.
The only lines I changed to take the existing smb.conf and make it a PDC are these lines:
Changed "workgroup = WORKGROUP" to "workgroup = MYDOMAIN"
Added "time server = yes"
Added "local master = yes"
Added "log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m"
EDIT: Ouch... this is more complex than I thought... the PDC isn't working, I just thought it was because of cached credentials. Back to the drawing board.
