I've set a samba server that seems to work, all shares are seemingly exported as readonly, however. The machine is called "lx". When I'm on lx I can run the following command:

froh@lx:~$ smbclient //lx/export -UAdministrator 
Enter Administrator's password:  
Domain=[CUSTOMER] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.4] 
smb: \> mkdir wrzlbrmpf 
NT_STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED making remote directory \wrzlbrmpf
smb: \> ls

How can I troubleshoot this?

What I did:

First I set up a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 x64.

Second I got kerberos working with the following krb5.conf file:

[libdefaults]
        ticket_lifetime = 24000
        clock_skew = 300
        default_realm = CUSTOMER.LOCAL

[realms]
    CUSTOMER.LOCAL = {
        kdc = SB4.customer.local:88
        admin_server = SB4.customer.local:464
        default_domain = CUSTOMER.LOCAL
    }


[domain_realm]
        .customer.local = CUSTOMER.LOCAL
        customer.local = CUSTOMER.LOCAL

#[login]
#       krb4_convert = true
#       krb4_get_tickets = false

I also added winbind to group, passwd and shadow in nsswitch.conf.

Seemingly Kerberos works:

root@lx:~# net ads testjoin Join is OK root@lx:~# wbinfo -a 'Administrator%MYSECRETPASSWORD' plaintext password authentication succeeded challenge/response password authentication succeeded

wbinfo -u and wbinfo -g also spit out a list of users and a list of groups respectiveley. I noted that domain accounts did NOT include a domain and they are in german (as on the SBS 2003 that is the domain server). So I get a "Domänenbenutzer" in wbinfo -u's output not a "CUSTOMER+Domain User" or something similar.

I'm not sure anymore what I did to the PAM configuration, but here is what I currently have:

root@lx:/etc/pam.d# cat samba 
@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-session-noninteractive
root@lx:/etc/pam.d# grep -ve '^#' common-auth 

auth    [success=3 default=ignore]      pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
auth    [success=2 default=ignore]      pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass
auth    [success=1 default=ignore]      pam_winbind.so krb5_auth krb5_ccache_type=FILE cached_login try_first_pass
auth    requisite                       pam_deny.so
auth    required                        pam_permit.so
root@lx:/etc/pam.d# grep -ve '^#' common-account 

account [success=2 new_authtok_reqd=done default=ignore]        pam_unix.so 
account [success=1 new_authtok_reqd=done default=ignore]        pam_winbind.so 
account requisite                       pam_deny.so
account required                        pam_permit.so
account required                        pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
root@lx:/etc/pam.d# grep -ve '^#' common-session-noninteractive 

session [default=1]                     pam_permit.so
session requisite                       pam_deny.so
session required                        pam_permit.so
session optional                        pam_krb5.so minimum_uid=1000
session required        pam_unix.so 
session optional                        pam_winbind.so 

At some point I joined the linux box into the AD domain.

After (manually) creating a home directory on the linux box I can log in using the Adminstrator user with the password taken from AD.

Now I run samba with the following setup:

[global]
        netbios name = LX
        realm = CUSTOMER.LOCAL
        workgroup = CUSTOMER
        security = ADS
        encrypt passwords = yes
        password server = 192.168.20.244     #IP des Domain Controllers
        os level = 0
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=16384 SO_SNDBUF=16384
        idmap uid = 10000-20000
        idmap gid = 10000-20000
        winbind enum users = Yes
        winbind enum groups = Yes
        preferred master = no
        winbind separator = +
        dns proxy = no
        wins proxy = no
#       client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
        log level = 2
        logfile = /var/log/samba/log.smbd.%U
        template homedir = /home/%U
        template shell = /bin/bash

[export]
        path = /mnt/sdc1/export
        read only = No
        public = Yes

Currently I don't care whether export is exported to everyone or just one user, I want to see somebody WRITING to that directory before I start fiddling with the authentication settings. (Who may access it).

As mentioned, accessing the share from smbclient results in this NT_STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED .

Accessing it from windows shows ACLs that look correct (The user may write) - but it does not work, I can only read files not write.

The directory to be exported looks like this:

root@lx:/etc/pam.d# ls -ld /mnt/
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2010-11-28 01:29 /mnt/
root@lx:/etc/pam.d# ls -ld /mnt/sdc1/
drwxr-xr-x 4 froh froh 4096 2010-11-28 01:32 /mnt/sdc1/
root@lx:/etc/pam.d# ls -ld /mnt/sdc1/export/
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 administrator domänen-admins 4096 2010-12-03 19:04 /mnt/sdc1/export/
root@lx:/etc/pam.d# getfacl /mnt/

mask::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:group::rwx
default:group:domänen-admins:rwx

My, oh my what am I overlooking? What am I to blind to see?
