1 I'm having a time getting samba working after having it working for
2 mnths. I did do a major update world. At the end when adjusting
3 files under /etc/ I rejected the new smb.conf keeping my old config
4 which is still in place.
5
6 It seems something has suddenly chagned whereby I cannot access any
7 linux shares from windows.
8
9 Attempting to get some details of the failure from the logs seem
10 fruitless since the log output is literally huge and nothing stands
11 out with big letters `error'.
12
13 I'm just not prepared to understand 670 lines of output for one
14 connection attempt.
15
16 And that is with `log level' cranked down to 3.
17
18 The following area seems to be important but even this small chunk
19 defies understanding far as I can see:
20
21 The `Sid' lines seem to be telling something but who knows what. Then
22 finally it shows a ACCESS_DENIED.
23
24 reader and Harry are the only two authorized users
25 What provoked this piece of log is an attempt from machine `harvey' to
26 login to samba share on machine `reader'. The incoming user is also
27 `reader'.
