Hello!
I upgraded few days ago 2 computers previously running Ubuntu Edgy to
Ubuntu Feisty and leave 1 computer with Ubuntu Edgy. Directly after
upgrading everything was fine with samba shares and they were accessible
on every computer.
I did only updates provided by Ubuntu official repositories, but
starting from yesterday I couldn't reach any samba share on Feisty
computers from other Linux (Edgy and Feisty) machines without any
visible reasons. I can access those shared folders from windows xp and I
can print using shared printers on Feisty machines from Linux and
windows. All shares are still accessible on Edgy computer. Shares on
Feisty can't accessed even from those computers, where they are
physically located.
I didn't install any new program and didn't remove anything. smb.conf
files looks identical on Feisty and Edgy computers. I tried instructions
provided in Ubuntu forums to improve smb.conf file, but it didn't help.
I found only mention about /etc/samba/smbusers file which should contain
user list. I tried to find it, but I don't have it both on Feisty and
Edgy computers. In spite that authentication of users worked fine until now.
Sincerely,
Andis
