Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
I have a Samba share configured to provide read/write access without authenticating. This worked fine until I installed Wine. I removed wine, and it worked fine again. I narrowed the offending package down to winbind. The share is configured like this: [rwshare] path = /data/sharerw read only = no writeable = yes guest only = yes guest ok = yes create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force group = download I also have a read-only share, which works fine regardless of whether winbind is installed: [share] comment = General share path = /data/Share read only = yes guest only = yes guest ok = yes Upon trying to connect to the read-write share with an fstab entry, I get this on the (Debian) client: Anonymous login successful 3505: tree connect failed: ERRHRD - ERRgeneral (General failure.) SMB connection failed and using smbclient //localhost/rwshare -U%: Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.28a] tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_GROUP and this was in /var/log/samba/log.127.0.0.1: [2008/10/06 17:48:25, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/10/06 17:48:25, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users [2008/10/06 17:48:25, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792) create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators [2008/10/06 17:48:25, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758) create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users and /var/log/samba/log.winbindd: [2008/10/06 17:42:26, 1] nsswitch/winbindd.c:main(990) winbindd version 3.0.28a started.
