Upgrading to samba 4.2.0-1 breaks usershares

Soukyuu · 2015-03-08 22:56:06

I have set up usershares following the wiki and everything was working fine so far. After updating I'm getting the same issue as here. However, my NETBIOS name is "zacate", so it is already <15 characters.
I can still access my shares, but they drop connection all the time.

# journalctl -r

shows:

Downgrading from 4.2.0-1 to 4.1.17-1 gets rid off the NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED, but the process_usershare_file stat message stays. The shares work though.
And yes, I do have a samba user for each of my linux users and the shared path is accessible by everyone.

Hey Soukyuu,

I recently had the same problem (mind with archlinux-arm on my rpi). Running the samba daemon in foreground and logging to stdout threw me this pretty straight forward message: "invalid permissions on directory '/var/cache/samba/msg': has 0700 should be 0755". Fixing the permissions let me start the daemon just fine again.

Best regards!

edit: sorry for the necrobump, but I found this topic on the first page of websearching for my logs so I thought maybe others will as well

I've had this as well and yes, setting correct permissions helps. It's a different issue, though.
Also, now samba actually segfaults randomly when accessed via a windows machine, but is fine when accessed by a linux machine. (see here)
I'm still using 4.1.9 server side.
