Configure samba server for Unix group
- by Bird Jaguar IV
I'm trying to set up a samba server with access for users in the Linux (RHEL 6) "wheel" group. I am basing smb.conf off of the example here where it goes through the [accounting] example. In my smb.conf I have
[tmp]
comment = temporary files
path = /var/share
valid users = @wheel
read only = No
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 02777
max connections = 0
(rest of the output from $ testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf is here). And
groups `whoami`
returns user01 : wheel.
When I use the following command from another machine (Mac OS) as the Linux user (user01):
$ smbclient -L NETBIOSNAME/tmp
it asks for a password, I hit return without a password, and get:
Enter user01's password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[DOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.6.9-151.el6_4.1]
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
tmp Disk temporary files
IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba Server Version 3.6.9-151.el6_4.1)
But when I try
$ smbclient //NETBIOSNAME/tmp
I try entering the password I use for the Linux login, and get a bunch of stuff logged, including
check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'user01' in passdb.
...
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
(I can give more logging information if it would be helpful.)
I can't find a reference to more steps I need to add group users in the resource. Should I be manually adding samba users from the group somehow?
Thank you
