Winbind Samba - Access Denied Shares
 

Hi all hope you can help, I have configured samba to the point where i can see all shares, browse all shares. I have configured winbind to the point where I can can pol the users and groups using wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g. My problem is I don' know how to set the permission on shares for restricted access and how to confirm winbind is doing its job. I have a share, ksych, I can browse it but I can not read/write or delete with in that directory. Here is my smb.conf file, thanks in advance for any help. Oh yes, I am very green in the linux world, but love'n every minute of it!!;)

[global]
workgroup = SANDBOX
netbios name = TRAPPER
server string = Samba Server
security = DOMAIN
encrypt passwords = Yes
obey pam restrictions = Yes
password server = *
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
unix password sync = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 0
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = No
winbind uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
template shell = /bin/bash
winbind enum users = yes
winbind seperator = /
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind use default domain = Yes
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
printing = cups
printer admin = @"Domain Admins"
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
browseable = No

[ksych]
path = /home/sandbox/ksych
public = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
directory security mask = 0700
admin users = sandbox\ksych

Here are a few options for samba shares that you could use, they might help.

browseable = no/yes
guest ok = no/yes
read only = no/yes

As far as file permissions for the actual share is concerned what is it you want to do? I'll try to give a you a answer.

Thanks Nordickiwi!.

Well I'm just trying to give myself read write access well denying everyone else.

Ok, I'm trying to figure things out in my head, but need more info after studying your smb.conf.
But don't know if i can help, I have a few questions that may seem basic or even stupid....but bare with me.
1, Is you samba server connecting to a Windows 2000/2003 Domain Controller?
2, From the workstation you are logging from, are you logging into AD with a user that has a local account on the samba file server?
3,If your not using Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory why are you using Winbind?
4, Did you write the smb.conf file yourself?

Apart from that, chmod 750 should give yout the desired effect for r/w access on /home/sandbox/ksych
But this can depend on your answers to the above questions.
