Netatalk shares only showing up for one user

vockleya · 10-20-2010, 10:21 PM

I have a netatalk AFP server set up on my computer. When I log in over the network from my user (from a mac), all the shares display fine. When I log in from the fileshare guest user (from a Mac), I get an error message saying that there are no shares available. Do I have to add the second fileshare user to a config file somewhere?

Hi vockleya, Welcome to LQ. Could be afpd.conf?

http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/2.0/...pd.conf.5.html

Good luck. ;-)

I am using the default server afpd.conf

Code:

- -transall -uamlist uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so

I don't see any options to allow or disallow certain users.

My AppleVolumes.default allows both users to access the shares

Code:

# The line below sets some DEFAULT, starting with Netatalk 2.1.
:DEFAULT: options:upriv,usedots

# By default all users have access to their home directories.
#~/				"Home Directory"
/media/Media/			"Media"		allow:aaron
/media/Media/Backups/Laptop	"Backup"	allow:aaron
/media/Media/Video		"Video"		allow:aaron,fileshare
/media/Media/Music		"Music"		allow:fileshare,aaron

From the link I provided:

Quote:

-uamlist [uams list]

Comma separated list of UAMs. (The default is uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so).

The most commonly used UAMs are:

uams_guest.so

allows guest logins

This isn't really a guest account. It has an account on the computer that can log in to a regular desktop environment. It is just a standard user account that I distribute the password to. Also, the "guest" account can log in, but an error shows up that says there are no shares available.

What are the permissions on the shares?

Good luck. ;-)

vockleya · 10-22-2010, 09:30 PM

currently, everyone has rwx permissions

Peacedog · 10-22-2010, 09:46 PM

Please post the output from the following:

Code:

$ ls -l /media
$ ls -l /media/Media
$ ls -l /media/Media/Backups

Good luck. ;-)

Is the fileshare user in the aaron group?

Good luck. ;-)

vockleya · 10-26-2010, 04:00 PM

I added the fileshare user to the aaron group, but I still get an error message that says no shares are available for the fileshare user.

Peacedog · 10-26-2010, 04:38 PM

Did you restart the services or reboot after you made the changes?

Good luck. ;-)

vockleya · 10-27-2010, 11:08 PM

I've restarted the computer multiple times since then, and it still doesn't work.

Peacedog · 10-28-2010, 07:53 PM

Is the aaron user able to access everything? Is it only the fileshare user with the problem?

Good luck. ;-)

vockleya · 10-29-2010, 10:07 AM

that is correct. only fireshare is having problems.
