Hello folks

I have tried 2.2.3, 3.0.0 and 2.2.8. Everyone with the same resoult.

The users are defined in different groups. Admin, common, ab, program and
aps.

When I first setup everything, it all worked fine. Everybody had access to
common and program disks, some had admin disk, others had ab disk and only
one had aps disk.

Then suddenly one day everyone had access to everything. Why?

Here is what I have tried so far:

- Delete all users from Linux and samba, and remake them
- upgrade to version 2.2.8
- upgrade to version 3.0.0
- removing any hint of samba and reinnstall it completly
- do chown and chmod on the shares
- new kernel (2.4.18) -> (2.4.20)

The really wierd thing is that if I try to logon to the server, on the
console, with a user other than root then the access thing work. The user
don't get access to shares that the user should not get access to. And if
I then try to logon from a client then the same user get access to all
shares.

I have probably looked to much on this thing to actually see what the
problem really is.

Does anybody have a clue on what this could be?

Erlend (who is banging his head into the wall right now)
