[Samba] Win2K3 ADS and Samba 3.0.1: Cannot access shares even with IP

[Brian Spiegel]

Regarding the problem where you cannot view shares using the hostname
(netbios) of the server, but can if you use the IP address:  I can view my
Samba shares from a Win2000 server using the IP, but I cannot access them.
Double-clicking on the shares in Windows Explorer results in the following
error:

'\\<ipaddr>\Share is not accessible.  The network name cannot be found.'


The smbd logs show the following lines:

[2004/01/06 14:54:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(677)
  '/home/username/sharedirectory/' does not exist or is not a directory,
when connecting to [Share]
...
[2004/01/06 14:54:27, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(94)
  error string = Permission denied
[2004/01/06 14:54:27, 3] smbd/error.c:error_packet(118)
  error packet at smbd/reply.c(286) cmd=117 (SMBtconX)
NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME


Here's the related code snippet from smbd/service.c:

smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum:
#if CHECK_PATH_ON_TCONX
    /* win2000 does not check the permissions on the directory
       during the tree connect, instead relying on permission
       check during individual operations. To match this behaviour
       I have disabled this chdir check (tridge) */
    if (vfs_ChDir(conn,conn->connectpath) != 0) {
        DEBUG(0,("%s (%s) Can't change directory to %s (%s)\n",
             get_remote_machine_name(), conn->client_address,
             conn->connectpath,strerror(errno)));
        change_to_root_user();
        yield_connection(conn, lp_servicename(SNUM(conn)));
        conn_free(conn);
        *status = NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME;
        return NULL;
    }
#else
    /* the alternative is just to check the directory exists */
    if (stat(conn->connectpath, &st) != 0 || !S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) {
        DEBUG(0,("'%s' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting
to
[%s]\n", conn->connectpath, lp_servicename(SNUM(conn))));
        change_to_root_user();
        yield_connection(conn, lp_servicename(SNUM(conn)));
        conn_free(conn);
        *status = NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME;
        return NULL;
    }
#endif

I've made sure the directories on Linux have full permissions and exist, but
smbd seems to think they don't.

    $ ls -ld samba_setup/
    drwxrwxrwx    2 username users        4096 Nov 12 12:41 sharedirectory/

>From smb.conf:
    [Share]
    comment = Samba Configuration Test Share
    path = /home/username/sharedirectory/
    read only = no
    browsable = yes
    writable = yes
    guest ok = yes


Under what conditions does the CHECK_PATH_ON_TCONX code get compiled instead
of the directory check?  The server I'm attempting to connect from is
Win2000.  Is there a compile configuration option that I missed somewhere?  

Thanks,
Brian

I'm working on the source release for 3.0.2pre1 now.

Yup.  The patch is trivial though.  Try this.
