I have a directory on my Ubuntu 14 box that I'd like to connect to via my Windows 10 box. I've created a new Samba user, set the new user's password, and verified that the new user has the proper permissions for the directory. When I try map to this drive in Windows Explorer, however, I get an "Access is denied" error. I'd like to use the specific linux user 'music' only - I don't want to make this directory accessible to everyone/guests. 'music' needs to have both read and write access.

I'm using the username music@192.168.1.6 (LAN IP address is static) with the correct Samba password (verified with smbclient).

What do I need to do differently?

Here's the excerpt from my log.elwah file (elwah is the name of my Win10 box):

[2016/01/23 17:59:00.839965,  0] ../source3/smbd/uid.c:153(check_user_share_access)

  user music connection to Music denied due to share security descriptor.

And here is my smb.conf file:

[global]

   workgroup = WORKGROUP

   server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

   wins support = yes

   dns proxy = no

   encrypt passwords = yes

   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

   max log size = 1000

   syslog = 0

   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d



   server role = standalone server

   passdb backend = tdbsam

   obey pam restrictions = yes

   unix password sync = yes

   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

   passwd chat = *Entersnews*spassword:* %nn *Retypesnews*spassword:* %nn *passwordsupdatedssuccessfully* .

   pam password change = yes

   map to guest = bad user

   usershare allow guests = no



   ntlm auth = no

   lanman auth = no

   client ntlmv2 auth = yes



[Music]

   comment = My shared music folder

   path = /mnt/largemarge/music/

   valid users = music

   read only = no

   guest ok = no

I was able to setup a like configuration with my host, and when I went to access the share through the network browser of Windows 10, it prompted me for my username and password. It only opened up when I gave it the correct information.

Looking at what you have compared to my setup, the following lines I have added to my [global] section of my /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

[global]

usershare owner only = false

unix extensions = no

follow symlinks = yes

wide links = yes

You can also try installing Samba Server Configuration that is a GUI control of your Samba settings by typing in the following:

sudo apt-get install gksu system-config-samba

The gksu is used to launch the Samba Server Configuration application with sudo access.

Hope this helps!
