Samba version: Version 4.1.17-Ubuntu
Ubuntu 15.10
When accessing a Samba share in windows, I can see the share but whenever I try and access it – entering the same username and password as the Samba user created with sudo smbpasswd -a benjamin
(same as system user), I only get "Access is Denied". Here are my smb settings
[global]
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
#encrypt passwords = No
map to guest = Bad User

passdb backend = tdbsam
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

[TVShare]
path = /media/MEDIA2/TV
available = yes
valid users = benjamin

Where ls -dl /media/MEDIA2/TV/
reads

To access the samba share, please pay attention to:
useradd -s /sbin/nologin benjamin
setenforce 0
EDIT: as the problem persists, try the following:
localhost\benjamin
as the usernamepdbedit -L
and check if userbenjamin
is listed. If so, set a trivial password (you can change it later) usingsmbpasswd benjamin
benjamin
is not listed, try to recreate it issuingsmbpasswd -a benjamin
passwd.tdb
; for reference, in a CentOS 6.x system it is found under/var/lib/samba/private/
). Then, recreate your user issuingsmbpasswd -a benjamin
smbpasswd -a root
and check if you can login using the root user. Note: this is only a try. After having done with it, you must delete root's entry issuingsmbpasswd -x root
log level = 2 winbind:5
, check the logs with something liketail -f /var/log/samba/log*
and try to login.
