Hello, i have the following Problem connecting a samba instance to an german windows domain. This is not a samba problem so far, i found out. If a user access a file via an smb share where he's not the owner, the samba directive dos filetimes allows him to reset the date. This works fine, if the primery group of the user has no german characters (e.g. ä,ö,ü). If the primary group has those, this doesn't work. (e.g. the primary group is: Domänen-Benutzer) mapped via winbind. I found out, that via strace the smbd process calls the utime function: 08:35:15 utime("Test/owner - ob.xls", [2004/11/03-08:36:25, 2004/11/03-08:36:25]) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted) This is the id output of that user: DOMAIN+fscadmin@SERVER:~> id uid=10000(DOMAIN+fscadmin) gid=10000(DOMAIN+Domänen-Benutzer) groups=10000(DOMAIN+Domänen-Benutzer),10001(DOMAIN+Domänen-Admins),10002(DOMAIN+GRUPPE_ADMIN),11054(ges_bt_r),11055(ges_bt-test) If an other user access a file of fscadmin, it works. Here's the id output of that user: AGESTT74:~ # su - DOMAIN~USER DOMAIN~USER@AGESTT74:~> id uid=12513(DOMAIN~USER) gid=10040(DOMAIN~GRUPPEA) groups=10040(DOMAIN~GRUPPE),10000(DOMAIN~Domänen-Benutzer),.... The main difference from my point of view is, that the primery group of fscadmin contains a german character "ä" and the other one does not. Here's my locale configuration: LANG=de_DE@euro LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE@euro" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL=de_DE@euro Here's the configuration directive from smb.conf unix charset = ISO8859-15 Any help would be fine....
