Ovios Samba doesn't work!

[gilberto...@gmail.com]

Hi there


Why is so difficult to make samba works on OviOS?
I follow the docs, but nothing works at all!
I have enabled the services, have create the pool, then the vol, and a
couple of users, restart the smb services...
Have tryied from Linux box, Windows XP and Windows 7 and nothing!
Always get ACCESS DENIED! Why this happen???
In my LinuxMint (Ubuntu 18.x) 19.2 I was able to share a folder and
could access this folder from Windows 7 without any trouble (using
\\IP )!
What's happening with OviOS 3?

Thanks for any help

Thank you for reporting this. 

It appears the upgrade to samba serber 4.9 "broke" the ovios smb server. The new version requires specifically a pool of UIDs to be assigned to any users at login time.

This was not required in previous versions, and I implemented the feature only when you would join a DC. So that would work fine even now.

However, I fixed this and uploaded an updated iso. To fix manually, you can also just add these lines to:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

in the [global] section:

idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 1000000-1999999

I took a few screenshots after i installed the new iso:

1. start smb, add a user

2. export the volume with this user

3. go to windows , enter user and pw, it ill work this time:

4. check smb stats
