[gentoo-server] samba: invisible content

[gentoo-server] samba: invisible content

[capsel]

Hi...
When I upgraded samba to 3.0.14a from previous (can't remember
version) with same config file content of share is invisible. No one
can get any file even knowing the name but can write one.
I changed directory permisions and owners but still nowone can see content.
How to solve this problem?

Have you already tried using the previous version of samba? 
That might give an idea wether it's really the version upgrade that matters.

Can you post your smb.conf?  Does testparm reveal any errors?

Some of the defaults may have changed so check the change log for
samba and see if there's anything that may have changed that could
effect your environment.  If you run testparm -v it will print out all
settings including the defaults for the values that your conf file
doesn't specify.

Check your smb.conf and see if it includes "hide special files = yes". Thats 
what caused the error, after the update to 3.0.14a here

It helped :D
Thank you very much!

Is it a bug or my missunderstanding of this option? (or ?)

No problem :)

It's a bug in <=samba-3.0.14a-r2. See 1 and 2 for more info's.

Basically the function responsible for 'hide special files' is hiding 
*everything*. Either upgrade samba to 3.0.14a-r3 or negate the conf-var (hide 
special files = no).
