Sorry Steve. We've all been a little busier
than usual as of late.
While I'm not sure what's caused you error, I can
give you a general understanding of what it means.
smbd changes its effective uid and gid to that of
the connected user (or force user/group) when doing
operations on behalf of the user. Otherwise it
runs as root. In you case, that process could not
change to the user's group.
What is the server platform you are running on?
Cheers, jerry
