Leopard and Samba Shares

Hi,
I have a Samba-Server (3.0.28a) on a Linux machine running with shares for
Windows- and Mac-Users.
All new files and directories that was saved on the
server have the right permissions during the
configuration file smb.conf and the parameters
"create mask" and "directory mask".
Since the update to Leopard for the Mac, the permissions
will be ignored. Every file copied from the Mac to the
server have the permission 0644 and directories 0755
independet of "create mask = 0640" and "directory mask = 0750"
of the smb.conf configuration. The permissions of files,
copied with Windows to the Samba server are good.
Tests with the parameters like "force create mode" and
"force directory mode" have no success. The user permissions
are the same and doesn't changed.
1. Is there a bug in Mac OS 10.5.2 (Leopard) to work with Samba shares,
or a problem with ACLs? Because Tiger doesn't use ACLs (i think so) and all was fine, but in the Samba configuration ACL support is switched on.
Sometimes the finder (Leopard) doesn't show directories and files on shares, after a reboot of the Mac the objects are available again!? For me it's look
like an inconsistent performance.
2. Or is there a change in the permission technology
by Leopard, where is a different handling in Samba necessary?
Thank you and
best regards

There is a change in Samba and the Leopard SMB client that can have adverse affects on how ACLs are interpreted. Filesystem ACLs have been supported starting in Mac OS X 10.4, so that hasn't changed directly in 10.5.
But this problem would be a server-side problem on your Linux box. Here's why:
Whenever files are copied, Mac OS X uses the following protocol: the POSIX permission bits of the copy are always retained. In other words, if the original file is 0755, then the copy will be 0755; however, the POSIX owner will be changed to the currently connected user. (Currently-connected can mean the user who logged in for cases where no permission masking applies. These cases will be limited to situations where the server and client are part of a common directory domain, such as Active Directory or Open Directory. For all other situations, masked permissions apply, and the currently logged-in user receives the permissions assigned to the user who connected to the share point.) Typically, the POSIX group is changed to match the group of the destination container (the folder that will hold the copy).
So, let's say Joey copies this file (to which Joey can only read):
SomeFile.txt
POSIX owner: Sally
POSIX group: SallyandFriends
POSIX permissions: 0644
...to this folder on the SMB server where Joey connected as snoopy, and snoopy is a member of peanuts...
ServerFolder
POSIX owner: linus
POSIX group: peanuts
POSIX permissions: 0777
...thus, Joey's copy should look like this:
SomeFile.txt - copy
POSIX owner: snoopy (because Joey connected to the server as snoopy - these are masked permissions)
POSIX group: peanuts (inherited from the parent)
POSIX permissions: 0755 (preserved)
The create and directory masks are for newly-created files and folders on the server, but not copied files or folders!
The real solution here would be to enable ACLs on your Linux server volume.

Leopard 10.5.5 and Linux Samba shares not connecting

I have seen this talked about many times, but I have not found the answer. And my situation is always slightly different from others...so here it is!
when I try to connect to our samba share, here are my steps...
Go
Connect to Server
smb://10.xx.xx.xx
Connect
here's where the problem is: the enter username and password pops up, and asks me to put them in...there is no user/password on our samba shares, and I cannot connect via guest either.
in Tiger, there was a work around through terminal to connect, but that doesn't apply to Leopard. We only have 2 Leopard machines here, all the rest are still Tiger, but we are eyeing upgrades, and would be forced to go up to Leopard since we can't buy new Macs with Tiger anymore.

best answer...get rid of Linux share, replaced it with an OS X server, no problems at all...

Leopard unable to send folders to a samba share

We are currently experiencing a problem trying to copy a pro tools project onto one of our servers via a samba share on the server. When we try to copy/move a directory finder reports that it does not have sufficiant privalages to do so.
But when we selected individual files inside the directory tree and copied them, they all went over fine and where able to create directories on the server from the client.
I then used terminal and ls -la to view the contents of the directories and discovered there were a fair few hidden temporary files. All belong to the correct user as far as samba is concerned, but some had the "@", Extended attributes flag attatched. I am able to interrogate them using xattr which shows com.apple.<this part varies> I'm unsure completely what com. files represent, as I am generally a linux user (sorry apple! but hey we're both unixy..)
Does anyone know of a fix, or if this is a common problem? or any way I can stop osx from spuriously creating these hidden files? or am I going to havto script something.. umm.. somewhere.
Oh, the server is running Fedora Linux, and the client is an Imac running OSX Leopard.
Any information would be greatly appreciated!

I am having difficulty finding a sollution to this problem.

do you get error -36 or error -50? there are several bugs related to that in snow leopard finder. not sure which one is affecting you. try this link first
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4017
next, see this post. It could be a problem with split resource forks for hidden .DS_Store files if it only affects folders
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11122044&#11122044

HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie. Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes. What do I do?

I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie. Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes. Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly. What do I do?

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Nemo and Nautilus crashing on accessing Samba shares

Hi,
I've made a clean install on a new laptop, and I've installed the cinnamon desktop environment. I've installed the following versions of these packages in order to get samba to work with nautilus:
Name : smbclient
Version : 3.6.12-1o
Name : gvfs-smb
Version : 1.14.2-3
Name : nautilus
Version : 3.6.3-1
Name : gnome-vfs
Version : 2.24.4-6
However, I get a segmentation fault every time I try to access any samba share or just by simply typing smb:// into the address bar.
Using the gnome-control-center printer setup also causes a segfault. Here is the dmesg output:
[ 748.193864] nautilus[3051]: segfault at 0 ip 00000000004c 1a89 sp 00007fff15bf8440 error 4 in nautilus[400000+14c000]
Can anyone help?
I'm unable to find any specific help on the forum for this particular problem
Thanks!

I've been trying to isolate the problem, and I think it has to do with gvfs-smb.
I am able to access shares via smbclient, and I even tried installing KDE's dolphin, which worked flawlessly as well.
I'll see what happens if I use an older version of gvfs-smb.

Mounting samba share starts avahi, ssh and sftp at client

The problem is at the client. When i mount a samba share (with # mount), avahi is started, which starts ssh and sftp. This is wrong on many levels.
Not sure how long this has been going on, someone else already asked this on stackexchange on 11.2.15, but didn't get any answers.
Journal output immediatly after mounting (hostname, ip etc. removed):

Thanks for your answer.

I'm not sure if anything is started, the term "Service ssh successfully established" sounds like the ssh serrver is started to me, but it might just be strange wording. What does "advertise as existing" mean?
From the snippet you quoted, it looks like the latter. Unless you have alread started socket activation for ssh or sftp, whether via systemd *.socket or inetd, I'm not sure it would actually be started.
I didn't enable anything manually.
I think you can rm/mv the sftp-ssh.service and ssh.service files /etc/avahi/services/ and prevent those services from being advertised.
OK thanks for the hint. Nontheless i would rather stop avahi from starting than configuring it.
Begin rant...
I'm a bit annoyed that avahi is starting without my permission. Seems like systemd is getting a bit overzealous with starting services. Interestingly this was one of the big problems with upstart, and was supposed to be solved with systemd. I still like systemd.

Samba Shares and System Lockup

Hey Guys,
So I've been having this issue since I got my MacBook Pro, when I'm using it at work I'm connected to various Samba Shares on Windows Server 2003, a Drobo, and a Windows Vista machine. Now, if I dismount all of them when I'm heading out of the office then my system is fine, but if I forget to dismount one of them the entire system locks up upon waking the Mac up. I cannot do anything and I am forced to power down and power back up.
This is endlessly annoying, as I'm sure you can imagine and I lost a large Photoshop document last night as a result.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks
Chris Pressland

I purchased our first mac in December 2010. The macbook pro utilizes SMB file shares on one of my windows 7 PC's. I am experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as everyone in this thread. It crashes at least once a week. It's not just Finder but the entire OS freezes including the Dock. It allows you to browse throw the apple menu and select "Restart" but it only hangs endlessly after that. I'm a PC/Microsoft expert and as a new mac user my experience has been extremely disappointing.
Apple: There is an abundant amount of threads on the web regarding this very same issue. It's not just inconvenient. It's extremely disruptive and frustrating. I am almost on the verge of returning the macbook since apple hasn't cared to even address this issue.

Is there a way to share my Mail account and settings between two partitions, running Snow Leopard and Lion?

I have two partitions on my internal hard drive - one is running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the other is running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Mail (5.0) is set up and runs perfectly on the Lion partition and I have not used Mail (4.5) yet on my Snow Leopard partition. I want to know if I can read, download, and save mail into the same user Library folder (probably the Lion user library) from both partitions...

You usually set up your mail accounts on a specific e-mail client programs such as Mail in OS X and Mail on an iPad, which will access the same remote mail server to have your messages show up on each device. Mailboxes can be synced in this way between two devices.
An alternative is to use the same remote application such as Gmail to access that service from multiple devices, so a dedicated e-mail client like Mail is not needed, but the availability of these depends on the e-mail service being used.

Can I share files between dual-boot Snow Leopard and Leopard partitions?

Apparently one of the cool new features of Snow Leopard is its file system compression. That has me wondering though, if I want to have a single drive with two partitions and install Snow Leopard on one partition and Leopard one the other will I be able to mount the SL partition from Leopard and read/edit files without causing problems?
It seems like that would not be possible but I thought I'd throw it out here to see if anyone has tried.

As far as I can tell, Apple has applied compression to most of the system executable files in Snow Leopard. However they do not appear to apply it to data files for any applications that I have looked at.
Apples documentation for ditto (go to terminal and type "man ditto" at the prompt, without the quotes) states:
--hfsCompression
When copying files or extracting content from an archive, if the destination is an HFS+
volume that supports compression, all the content will be compressed if appropriate. >This
is only supported on Mac OS X 10.6 or later, and is only intended to be used in >installa-tion installation
tion and backup scenarios that involve system files. Since files using HFS+ compression
are not readable on versions of Mac OS X earlier than 10.6, this flag should not be >used
when dealing with non-system files or other user-generated content.

AutoFS + Samba share problems when share not online (especially in itunes)

I'm trying to look into having some or all of my media on a server for a couple of my macs, the main one of interest right now being a mac mini working as a HTPC under a tv, being operated 99% of the time with just the apple remote and frontrow.
A friend informed me that if you have your itunes library not managed and add files from a remote share then everything works pretty well. Namely if you try to play a file it will seemingly automount the remote file and start it playing. If the remote server is not available it will quickly discover this and after a short pause start giving explanation marks next to the broken tracks. Get the remote destination connected and then try to play a broken track and it will successfully mount the track and play.
Basically perfect.
I quickly tried accessing these files via a symbolic link or alias to them on the remote drive, in doing this i can be somewhat insulated from problems of trying to move the library to other machines/shares in the future. This all works fine but you do lose the ability for itunes to automatically mount the remote drive, which is a bit of a step back, but not a big deal on my normal machine. On my HTPC machine however i'd really like front row to be able to just work, hence automatically mounting the server as required.
The only problem was that when i tried with files directly added to the itunes library from a remote location frontrow would NOT automount the tracks/videos when you attempted to play them like itunes would do.
I've just spent the last few hours following the advice here
http://rajeev.name/blog/2007/11/22/autofs-goodness-in-apples-leopard-105-part-i/
to setup autofs in the hope that this would let me get auto mounting working as it does with itunes and directly added to the library remote files.
I boiled this down to the following settings
as root
vi /etc/auto_master
and add
/smb auto_smb
then create this new config file
vi /etc/auto_smb
and add
<Mount dir under /smb folder> -fstype=smbfs ://<share user>:<share pass>@<ip address>/<share point>
ie.
testMount -fstype=smbfs ://netuser:[email protected]/remoteMount
finally tell automount to throw away its cache
automount -vc
then the mount should be setup
df -h
shows the indirect map waiting
map auto_smb 0Bi 0Bi 0Bi 100% /smb
and by triggering it
ls /smb/testMount
you should connect and get a listing, a subsequent df shows
df -h
//[email protected]/Media 466Gi 325Gi 141Gi 70% /smb/Media
Everything worked well with the share getting mounted nicely when present, frontrow could just start playing the files it needed, perfect!!
The problem came when i wanted to simulate the media server being offline, basically frontrow, a lot of the system including finder, cd commands attempting to access the share, and itunes if you tried that would all freeze for long periods of time as they tried their best to get the files they were looking for.
I tried looking into getting this to gracefully time out and think i got somewhere by trying to setup the samba share to be soft linked.. I wasn't sure in what files i could add this to, first attempts didn't seem to do anything but adding this seemed to make a difference
/etc/nsmb.conf
containing something like
#Configuration file for example.com
[default]
minauth=ntlmv2
streams=yes
soft=yes
to turn soft samba shares on. Things like cd in a terminal seemed to behave quite well with this, when no remote share present you would get empty folders and the like. Finder would also seem to be reasonable with it.
Frustratingly itunes and frontrow both still have quite massive pauses even when finder and cds in the background show that perhaps the soft links are working and failing like they should.
I'm now left wondering what i can do to fix it, and resorting to perhaps having the files added via a symbolic link, using the login items to launch the remote share every boot and then having it so that all i need to do is reboot the HTPC mac mini if the server is on for it to pick it up and let me play the files. Otherwise they'll just be unavailable and will fail gracefully without locking up itunes. The perfect solution would be to either have a crontab running, or some applescript bound somehow to whenever frontrow is ran which manually tries to tell finder to do the equivelant mount the login items setup does.
It's frustrating though as its so close, and the autofs solution if it did work better would seem to be the perfect solution. Has anyone dabbled with this and got any suggestions as to options you can setup to make things not go horribly wrong when a remote share is NOT present, preferrably within the context of itunes or front row not complaining, but to be honest any suggestions i'll be able to try out myself.
Sorry i've written so much, perhaps some of it will be helpful reference as it took me a while to decipher that link at the top into just setting up a samba autofs.
Cheers.

It seems like it's not only the ArchLinux workstation that displays the norwegian letters wrong. The only machine that shows this correc is the machine that created the file/catalogue.
It seems like the windows 2000 displays the cataloge created by windows XP just fine.

Trouble with wireless n and smb shares

I have a bit of a per-plexer here.
I have a personal mac that up until a little while ago, ran 1.5.8 flawlessly for six months since i had it.
This included a lot of mounting my windows 7 file server and watching movies or listening to music over wireless G. Every night in fact I would fall asleep to a movie, then wake up and play some music from my music folder on the same server.
The battery would die nightly of course. Morning, charge it up with some music on.
I picked up a copy of snow leopard upgrade for 30 bucks when it was released or there about and installed it. Went fine and I continued happily using the machine for about 2 months.
Then I bought a belkin wireless N gigabit router, to replace my wrt54g. It worked alright and I continued my daily/nightly routine, watch a movie, sleep, listen to music.
However the first morning, and every morning subsequently there after I have run in to a pain-in-the-butt problem.
I awoke to find, like always, my server shares still mounted (or at least they appeared to be). But opening any of them would present a blank finder window, like no files were available.
Unmounting and re-mounting the shares would fail, with a message saying unable to connect to the PC.
So, what do you do next? I reboot. My programs close, the dock, finder, my background turns to the blue solid.
System stops re-booting... it sits here, with a plain cursor and I am unable to do anything but hard-power it off.
After a hard-reboot,everything functions normally until it hibernates or sleeps with the samba shares.
I took the router back and got a dlink n/gigabit router instead, cussing out belkin on my way to the store. No change!
So I reinstalled (I didn't even archive, i just blew it away) - installed 10.5.8 again, upgraded to SL, and connected to my wireless. I can still reproduce the issue.
So, i'm bummed, i've tried a lot of things I wont bother listing here but one more important detail i wanted to add is:
I work at a company that has blanket wireless b/g coverage using multiple access points and a controller to do load balancing and access point switching.
Recently, we got a few N access points from the provider and I set them up around the office in a new, isolated SSID on the subnet i do my work on. Using WPA2 Psk, like at home.
So, now to be fair I've got a slightly-newer mac at the office, same unibody but late 2009 instead of early 2009 (sd slot instead of express slot). I threw SL on it, and connected to the new SSID i setup and finally connected to our netapp and left for the night.
Come in in the morning and I can reproduce the issue on the work mac.
So, two different macs, 2 very different N wireless networks and 2 different file server platforms. But same prob, **** thing chokes overnight.
I have been able to reproduce this issue with a slough of late 2009 macs at the office now, as I handed out the SSID key to those with SL as my unwitting test subjects. Everyone's coming up with the same problem.
Has anyone out there run in to this? It's such a huge issue i'm surprised i can't find anymore information about it!
Thanks,
Josh

Active Directory and Samba issues

When I updated a few of the computers here at work to Leopard, I tried mounting some authenticated samba shares here at work, and they worked just fine. However, with other users, it denies their password, and then re-prompts for the password, despite said password being correct. It doesn't appear to be related to administrator permission on the domain, either, because it denies me when I change my permissions to only have access to specific machines, instead of 'all computers'
If you need any further information, I would be happy to give it.

Hi
I confess I don't know if this is in any way helpful or relevant but I do know changes have been made in Leopard viz Samba since you can no longer setup a Windows Printer via Samba in the GUI as you have previously been able to do. You can do it in CUPS but this isn't for all types of users. Thus I don't know if this has any bearing on your problem but it may help to look for more general based samba support changes.
cheers

SMB problems with Vista and Samba 3.0.25a

I've got a huge problem with my network setup here. I've read the previous posts about non working samba shares, but I did not found any working tips. I have done some additional tests, and I would like to share them with you, maybe anyone finds the solution based on them.
So the problem is that I cannot access smb based shares. Not on my Windows (Vista) workstation, and not on my freebsd server (samba 3.0.25a). Login seems to be successful. When I enter a wrong username, or a wrong password, the finder tells me that this credentials are wrong. So as far as I can see the problem must be behind the login step.
My samba logfile does not report anything, same for the firewall logs from Leopard. When I try to list the shares from the terminal (with smbclient) it works fine. I even can mount this shares, but the goal was to have it available in the finder.
When I use +K to mount the share the manual way, I can enter the username and password (if they are wrong, I get the right error message), but after that I get only the connecting dialog.
Thank you very much to everyone who might have any idea how that could be fixed.
Have a nice day.

FYI: This issue was fixed in 10.5.2, and there is a workaround for previous versions: Remote % signs from the password.

Windows samba share shows "zero KB" for file size....

Upgraded, clean install, to leopard and now I see "Zero KB" for file size on my Windows Home Server samba shares. Before the upgrade all that info was displayed but afterwards that info is gone. The only changed on my network was upgrading to Leopard. My linux samba server still works perfectly with 10.5 but the windows samba shares are not. I can browse, mount and copy files to and from the windows samba shares but the file size info isn't displayed. The file size isn't even displayed when I "Get Info" on a file. Previously using 10.4 all was working perfectly and all info was displayed and or was available if I wanted it. Not sure if it is something to do with how Windows Home Server handles samba or if it is how Leopard handles windows samba shares. No settings were changed on my network from when I was running 10.4. The only change on my home network/hardware has been upgrading to Leopard! No other changes were made to any servers or computers that were previously working perfectly with 10.4. Other than this "Zero KB" issue all has gone quite smoothly.

I removed the . (and moved the directory to match) but I still have the same issue.
Here's the smbd.log after a rebooting and then restarting samba:

Finder lock ups due to samba shares being invalidated by changing network

I often leave my macbook online for a long time unattended, for simplicity I tend to plug it into its power lead, and also connect it up to my gigabit network. I know i've set the priority in my connections to prefer the wired connection over wireless but just to keep things simple i disable airport so i can be sure that i will be connected via gigabit.
I'll then go in and map a network drive from one of my PCs on the lan, this is mounted and available.
Sometime in the future i'll go mobile again, like i just did today. Disconnecting power and gigabit ethernet, i re-enable airport. After a short while its all good to go.. I then start using the internet connection. All is fine.
Then finally i spot that my samba drive is still mapped, i've had trouble selecting this drive to use it, but sadly also you get real trouble by just trying to eject the mount. Doing so and nothing happens.. after 10-20 seconds everything is frozen, including the animated dock, and top toolbar, and you are presented with the spinning wheel of activity.
applealtesc does NOT bring up the force close dialog, and eventually i was forced to force a shutdown.. apple power button isn't it? I had the power button held down for a long time.
Generally i find the mounting samba drives a bit of a pain in the finder but i can put up with it. Samba shares on windows are a nightmare but they rarely bring down the whole system when a connection has been broken.. i'd love it if mac OS would time out the samba share and just give up, rather than hanging in the way it does do.
Obviously i'm accessing my LAN through a different interface and IP address than i was when i set up the connection. I am not sure if you have a similar problem as described if you just disconnect from the network and have no net connection at all.. not sure what it would do with a share in this way.
Is this worth logging as an actual bug? anyone got any suggestions to fix it?

Ok, no luck yet. Maybe I can ask another question directly related to this issue. I am trying to find the cause of this and I am wondering if there is a brief dropout in the connection to the NAS. By brief, I mean really brief. The NAS is connected via a Homeplug network connection (network via the homes power points) and maybe for a very brief period interferrence on the lines dropped the AFP connection.
Is it normal that it is then impossible for AFP to reconnect, even when the NAS is clearly back on the network?
Any drop will have to be very brief as I can always stream music without issues, and no drop or slow down has caused buffering issues.
But, I don't recall getting this issue when directly connected to the iMac via a short ethernet cable for the initial Time Machine backups that take over a day.
What I don't understand though, is if the connection did briefly drop and loose the AFP link, why can AFP no longer connect back? Why do I need to sleep the iMac and then wake it again.
HTTP connections to the NAS never seem to drop, and when I can't recconnect via AFP, I can always connect via HTTP? Is this expected of the AFP protocol? Or is it an unexpected issue?
