Gérald [Impact] * Users are no longer able to use the force user or force group options in the smb.conf. This can prevent users from accessing shares without first having to login with a valid login. [Test Case] 1. Create a directory /tmp/ubuntu 2. chown ubuntu:ubuntu /tmp/ubuntu 3. Add a section to the smb.conf like so. [Ubuntutest] comment = Ubuntutest path = /tmp/ubuntu browseable = yes read only = no guest ok = yes force user = ubuntu 4. Make sure the ubuntu user has access to the directory from the server. 5. Attempt to access the share 6. You should not be prompted for a username and password 7. Create a file 8. Verify the file is owned by ubuntu. [Regression Potential] * Minimal. The fix is to use vuser->session_info instead of conn->session_info, when checking permissions. This seems like it should be fairly isolated to the initial permissions checks. [Other Info] * Pretty straightforward cherry-pick of upstream solution. ______________________________________________________ There is nasty regression bug in samba 4.1.6 That prevents the use of the "force user" option. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9878 It has been fixed in 4.1.7.
