[Samba] Unable to write to a share that I should have access to

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Hai, 

It's seldom i had problem due AppArmor these days, the defaults are fine in general. 
And its installed.. By default, it comes with the kernels.. 
Just leave it as is.. It should add the path's of share's automaticly to apparmor.

getent passwd testuser
id testuser
wbinfo -i testuser
Do these show the needed info, uid gid homedir..

This :  chown testuser:"Media Users" TV_Shows
Only works if you a UIG:GID set .. I suspect one is missing. 

Chown, does work fine as user, as long as the user has rights,
 to write in that location where chown is used. 

In smb.conf
Remove these lines.. 
> >valid users = @HOME\Photos_Users @HOME\Multimedia_Users 
And setup like this. 

   read list = @"HOME\Photos_Users",@"HOME\Multimedia_Users"
   write list = @ANY_GROUP_for_Write_ACCESS


Make sure also that you have in nsswitch.conf .. (* i suggest, keep winbind as last) 
passwd:         files systemd winbind
group:          files systemd winbind

And check that libnss-winbind libpam-winbind are installed. 

Greetz, 

Louis
