scenarios while setting up Samba share on Ubuntu 22.10: 'Access denied' despite correct configuration
I've tried everything I can think of but After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. Does anyone know how to I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm trying to set up a Samba share on my Ubuntu 22.10 server, but I'm running into an 'Access denied' scenario when accessing the share from a Windows client. My `smb.conf` configuration looks like this: ```ini [shared] path = /srv/samba/shared valid users = @sambashare read only = no browseable = yes force group = sambashare create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0755 ``` I've created the directory with the following command: ```bash sudo mkdir -p /srv/samba/shared sudo chown :sambashare /srv/samba/shared sudo chmod 2775 /srv/samba/shared ``` I also added a user to the `sambashare` group and set the Samba password: ```bash sudo usermod -aG sambashare myuser sudo smbpasswd -a myuser ``` Then I restarted Samba with: ```bash sudo systemctl restart smbd sudo systemctl restart nmbd ``` However, when I try to access the share from my Windows machine, I'm prompted for a username and password, and even after entering the correct credentials, I get 'Access denied'. Checking the Samba logs with `log.smbd` gives me the following behavior: ``` [2023/10/10 12:45:12.123456, 0] ../source3/smbd/service.c:1075(make_connection_snum) share shared denied access to myuser (access denied) on ``` I've double-checked the permissions and group membership, but I'm unsure where the scenario lies. Any tips for debugging or common pitfalls I might be missing? What's the best practice here? This is for a desktop app running on CentOS. What are your experiences with this? I'm using Bash 3.11 in this project. Could this be a known issue?
