[Samba] Active Directory Integration Problems

[David Armstrong]

Thanks for the replies.  I have modified the share portion of my
smb.conf file as shown below.  Still no luck.

[test]
        path = /home/2CP/darmstrong
        browseable = yes
        read only = yes
        inherit permissions = yes
        valid users = "2CP\darmstrong","buexec","test",itadmin
        write list = "2CP\darmstrong","buexec","test",itadmin
        read list =


When modifying file permissions for shares on Windows servers, I have to
log out and log back on again before the workstation recognizes them.
Does the same go for Samba shares?

The domain portion of the user isn't needed if you have 'winbind use
default
domain = true' in your config. The quotes are however required since
Samba
and the NSS stack on Linux cannot (or at least not from my experience)
handle escapes.
