You may want to grab a copy of the file from a recent configuration backup and compare.

Hm.....
This is strange. I checked the oldest backup and I see the same smb.conf in there.

I enabled all stuff from #others.
The #winbind and #PDC is still commented as this is causing trouble with our other domain controller.

The good news is that access with custom groups is working again.

Really happy and thank you for the great help!!!

I also searched in the LDAP and found the groups and the users attached to them.
Not able to spot a difference.

What do you get from "testparm -s"

Here you are.
I guess something is wrong with LDAP. I will do some searches.

I still don't understand why you are having problems. For me, my "testgroup" share works, as do all the "allusers" shares

Yes this is really strange. I just tried to create a new group without "_". But also this does not help.

The last reboot of the system before today was the 8th of July and until this morning everything was working normal.

It works for me if I use a group share. Can you check your group still exists and your users belong to it. Also check the folder group ownership is the group. As a last thought, is the folder still enabled for file sharing in the Flexshare app?

Hi Nick,

as I wrote the group share is only working if I select the "allusers" group for the access. The custom groups are still looking OK and the group ownership of the folder is changing if I switch the group permission.

Also the windows filesharing is enabled to the folder. So I really switch only between the custom group and the "allusers" and it is going to work.

Hey Nick,

so I found another interesting thing.

It is working if I select the group allusers for the share.

It does not work any more if I switch it back to the special group.

Best regards

Why do you do that link? Is is through a bind mount or symlink? I don't think it should matter.

Can you try:I don't think you need the "-A .smbcredentials".

Also is LDAP running?

The link is only to make sure that the shares are on the home partition. I also don't think that is related.

The -A is just because I don't want to type.

Can you check that the three services are running:

Hi Nick,

we are running the community edition.
Yes I saw that there was no relation to samba updated last night.

This is the yum.log from July.


I'm not aware of any manual changes.

I just created a new test share which is showing the same issue.

I'm 100% sure that the issue was not present yesterday. A restart of the server also did not solve it.

The interesting part is that the home directory could be mounted as before. So it is only related to the flexshare.
Here is important to know that /var/flexshare/shares is a link to /home/shares/.

Can't connect to samba shares (Windows,Linux, Mac) since 15th of July 2020

Hi all,
