[Samba] chdir_current_service: vfs_ChDir(/srv/samba/users) failed: Permission denied.

[L.P.H. van Belle]

A full output of the created structure would be nice
and helps to explain that.  

For all the used folders a getfacl should tell sufficent. 
getfacl /srv
getfacl /srv/samba
getfacl /srv/samba/users
getfacl /srv/samba/users/username 

But i suspect "SYSTEM" is missing somewhere. 
And/Or did you change the Share Rights in Windows. 
Because, if you do that, AFTER users are created, 
it can mess up already existing folders and there rights.

I work in this order. 
1) install samba.
2) create the folders in /srv/samba and setup the shares. 
3) setup the share and folder fights. 
4) create users and set user home and profiles

Greetz,

Louis
