I am trying to get SMB server to work in Server Admin on Snow Leopard Server. The AFP server works. No problem. However, I have SMB turned on and yet, every time I try to connect from another Mac, I get:
There was a problem connecting to the server "myserver.domain"
You do not have permission to access this server.
If I then change the URL in "Connect to Server ..." from smb:// to afp://
I have no problem mounting the specific volume.
In Server Admin, I have the Role defined as "Standalone Server" because I don't need it for anything such as being a Primary Domain Controller.
I can use the same share point as I have defined for AFP, right? I clicked on "Share Points" in the tool bar, clicked the share point desired to share and then dragged the users desired for this to the window under the Permissions tab.
Is there anywhere on the web that explains this setup simply and clearly? Thanks.

Check out SMBUp:
Good for downloads:

[Note: I see that this needs 10.7 or better]

Where's the Vangelis music?

They have put back more tits into the Zhora dressing room scene.

Salut Jack
I would use smb only for computers that cannot talk afp ;-)
What OS is the client running?
In Workgroup Manager I would try adding the the group "Workgroup" to the
users who need to connect via smb

And what are the permissions?

why would you want to connect with smb if your machine can talk afp?

yes, or a subset

The volume being served is called /Office and it has perms 755. Those perms have always worked for all users who mount this volume with AFP.
The folder in /Office entitled SEM, which he needs access to, has perms 775 which should allow only members of his group, SEM, to be able to write to.
I also have ACLs set on the folder entitled SEM.
user=sem
list="list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
chmod -R +a "user:$user allow $list" ../SEM
Thanks for your help, Andreas.

Hi Michael,
Thanks a bunch for your thoughts but I'm pretty sure that new versions such as 10.8 or 10.9 would not be the problem when my client and server are both 10.6 Snow Leopard and I doubt very much that it would be a problem with a Windows client to a Mac mini running OSX Server 10.6. Thanks again.

Until proof of the opposite, there is backward compatibility between
SMB2 and SMB.
