[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#424046: samba: remote authenticating fail with 3.0.25

[Christian Perrier]

Quoting Vladimir Stavrinov (vs at inist.ru):
> Package: samba
> Version: 3.0.24-6
> Severity: normal
> 
> 
> After upgrade from 3.0.24 to 3.0.25 the users can't get write access to their
> shares. The settings in the smb.conf are:
> 
> security = server
> username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
> 
> I try to enter password of local user the domain users mapped to and get access
> successfully. This look like users are authorized locally instead of by domain
> controller.


While what you report should still be considered as a bug, could you
try with "security=domain".

"security=server" is, IIRC, mostly considered as a hack by the Samba
Team so it might be a good occasion for you to switch to soemthing
better supported....and tested..:-)

Of course, if this bug is reproducible in "security=domain", it would
be time to upgrade the bug severity....
