Sudden change to Samba login
Good Morning,
I set up several Samba shares several months ago and these were working as expected until recently. Then I started notincing that the users dod not have the access they should have had based on owner / group priveledges.
A day or so ago I created a directory via the shared interface (i.e. not on the server directly!) and noticed that, instead of my username the owner was DOMAIN\username.
I dug into the log files and noticed that, up until the 24th of June, the log contained entries such as:
[2011/06/24 07:30:42.960995, 1] smbd/service.c:1070(make_connection_snum)
__ffff_172.28.164.129 (::ffff:172.28.164.129) connect to service tools initially as user USERNAME (uid=0, gid=110) (pid 1684)
On the 27th it suddenly became:
[2011/06/27 07:27:16.942121, 1] smbd/service.c:1070(make_connection_snum)
__ffff_172.28.164.129 (::ffff:172.28.164.129) connect to service tools initially as user DOMAIN\USERNAME (uid=10004, gid=10004) (pid 17600)
The Windows Network types assure me that nothing had changed on thier side.
I did notice that I had a message concerning a change in Samba and have subsequently added the "map untrusted to domain = yes" to my smb.conf and restarted both samba and my client (to force a new login), but the result is the same.
Here my smb.conf:
[global]
realm = DOMAIN.DOMAIN
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = %h Debian Development Server

admin users = john

create mask = 0775
[tools]

create mask = 0775
I have searched, but I not able to find anything the seems relevant to my problem.
Any ideas?
Thnaks in advance ...

John
