[wpkg-users] Samba problem

[Dennis Kuhlmeier]

Hello,

this is not really a WPKG problem, but maybe one of you has
experienced this problem before and can help me.

Short Summary: Cannot access wpkg share on domain controller prior
to user logon

Detailed situation:
We have set up a Samba Domain Controller with a backup domain
controller working as the primary file server.
PDC - Server A
BDC/Fileserver - Server B

Now for a long time the server containing the packages for WPKG was
a third Samba Server, which was only a domain member but provided
some shares to the workstations as well.
This was all good but came from a grown environment where diskspace
was rare. So the third Samba Server got deconfigured and the share
holding the WPKG packages was moved to the BDC/fileserver (Server B).

In our setup there are severals scripts involved, which are invoked
via Policy, one finally calling wpkg.js, which is also on the
fileserver (Server B).

I have the share configured as following:
[wpkg]
   comment  = WPKG Images
   path     = /export/wpkg
   create mask = 0660
   directory mask = 2770
   force group = administratoren
   browsable = yes
   writable = no
   write list = @administratoren
   guest ok = yes
   share modes = no
   inherit permissions = yes
   map archive = no

This is mostly the same as our netlogon shares, I believe "guest ok"
is the most essential option here. Too bad I don't have a copy of
the old share setup on the deconfigured server though, the
transition wasn't made by me.

What I see now is that while booting there seems to be a brief
connect to the fileserver using the username of the logon user.

The samba server logs this:
[2009/09/17 14:01:31, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(850)
  make_connection: connection to wpkg denied due to security descriptor.

The script output itself is:

"Software install from \\host\wpkg\software / \\host\wpkg\software"
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host, Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.

Eingabefehler: Die Skriptdatei "\\host\wpkg\wpkg.js" wurde nicht
gefunden.

Which mainly means, wpkg.js wasn't found in the specified location.

After the login is complete, opening the share still doesn't work,
but that seems to be Windows related, as there was a connection
attepmpt as another user from the same machine. If I disable the
script execution at boot time using the share is of course no
problem. Alternatively one can just wait for some time and then the
share will work: Samba log entry:

[2009/09/17 14:05:12, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(1033)
  xppro-testpc (ip) connect to service wpkg initially as user
username (uid=695, gid=1000) (pid 17946)

Executing wpkg.js as Administrator then works fine as well.

Regards,

Dennis
