smb.conf

Code: Select all

[global]
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	server string = Samba Server
	load printers = no
	security = user
	map to guest = Bad User

	max log size = 50
	name resolve order = wins bcast host

Didn't you have some problem with testing the other day? If you're using testing/sid then you should say so in your questions.

Sorry, I added that to my post. I didn't think that would make a difference in this case.

Thank you, and
No problem, but in the future, and for others that might not know better,
information like this should all ways be included when posting a topic about a problem, Debian Version, we should not have to look at the members profile and try to guess which version of Debian, based on previous posts, for all we know, the question is about a different installation. A little logic goes a long ways.

Sorry again I forgot to mention the general section of smb.conf is copied from previous installation and it had no problem before.
I just realized if I run

Code: Select all

net usershare info --long test > /var/lib/samba/usershares/test

(test is the name of a share i created with usershare) it gives me

Code: Select all

info_fn: file /var/lib/samba/usershares/test is not a well formed usershare file.
info_fn: Error was Malformed usershare file.

and the file /var/lib/samba/usershares/test becomes empty. could it be some kind of bug?

[oxygene]

yes indeed it's a bug in samba usershare.
solution:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 1775 /var/lib/samba/usershares/
sudo chmod +t /var/lib/samba/usershares/

I couldn't find anything to mark a post as answer or mark the topic as solved, so I simply added [SOLVED] to the first post's title.
