Ubuntu 22.04 - Samba File Sharing Returns 'Access Denied' for User in Group
Quick question that's been bugging me - I've set up a Samba server on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine to share files with other users on my local network. However, when I try to access the shared folder from a Windows client, I get an 'Access Denied' behavior, even though the user is part of the correct Samba group. I've already verified that the Samba service is running with `sudo systemctl status smbd`. My `/etc/samba/smb.conf` file is configured as follows: ```ini [shared] path = /srv/samba/shared browsable = yes writable = yes guest ok = no valid users = @sambashare ``` I created the `sambashare` group and added users with `sudo groupadd sambashare` and `sudo usermod -aG sambashare username`. I also set the correct permissions on the shared directory using: ```bash sudo chown :sambashare /srv/samba/shared sudo chmod 2770 /srv/samba/shared ``` However, when attempting to access the share, the Windows client prompts for credentials, and after entering them, it shows 'Access Denied'. I've checked the Samba logs located in `/var/log/samba/` and see entries like: ``` [2023/10/01 12:34:56.789012, 0] ../../source3/modules/vfs.c:1234(vfs_check_access) vfs_check_access: Access denied for user 'username' on path '/srv/samba/shared' ``` I’ve restarted the Samba service after every change, but the scenario continues. Is there something I might have overlooked in the configuration or permissions? For context: I'm using Bash on Ubuntu. I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 using the latest version of Bash. How would you solve this?
