[Samba] Editing Word documents in a share from windows and Linux

[Eduardo Sotomayor]

I have found something interesting, if I run the command wbinfo -u I get this



SIENIC\root

SIENIC\administrator

SIENIC\amartinez

SIENIC\esotomayor

SIENIC\contador



if I run the command wbinfo -g



SIENIC\domain admins

SIENIC\domain guests

SIENIC\domain users



but if I run the command getent passwd I get this

as you can see, the domain users are not present, only the local users,
may be that is why I can not use the options UID or GID, and if I run 



chown amartinez recurso2



I get



chown: Invalid User: amartinez





where amartinez is a domain user



this is the content of the nsswitch.conf file







passwd:	compat winbind

group:	compat winbind



hosts:	files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

networks:	files dns



services:	files

protocols:	files

rpc:	files

ethers:	files

netmasks:	files

netgroup:	files nis

publickey:	files



bootparams:	files

automount:	files nis

aliases:	files







I have shutdown the nscd service as recommended in the samba how to book
		


I solved the problem by adding the following lines to the smb.conf fine in the [global] section.



winbind enum user = yes



winbind enum group = yes


Now it is working fine.

This is the command I have used:

mount -t cifs -o username=amartinez //192.168.0.2/archivos1 /home/SIENIC/amartinez/recurso2

these are the permissions of the folder before mount command

drwxrws--- 3 SIENIC\amartinez SIENIC\domain users  4096 nov 17 09:58 prueba2

these are the permissions of the folder after mount command

drwsrwsr-x  3 adolfo           BUILTIN\administrators     0 nov 17 15:05 recurso2


this is why the share is read only, the current user is the domain user "amartinez", adolfo is a local user, this machine is part of a DOMAIN, the PDC is a openSUSE 11.2 domain controller

how can I mount this share as a read/write share for the domain users logged in the current workstation?
