Description Michael St. John 2005-04-17 05:02:08 UTC
Description of problem:

When attempting to access a share through a mount or smbclient the samba server
returns tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME closing the connection.

The samba access log contains:

[2005/04/17 00:23:07, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(617)
  '/home/foo' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [foo]

smbclient -L host and testparm both correctly display all active shares without
errors.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.11-6


How reproducible: reproducible


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install samba-3.0.11-6
2. configure to local workgroup
3. connect to server with smbclient //sambaserver/foo -U foo
  
Actual results:

[2005/04/17 00:23:07, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(617)
  '/home/foo' does not exist or is not a directory, when connecting to [foo]

Expected results:


Additional info:

In the example below the workgroup master is running samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0.

Sorry this is not a bug. Turns out it was a misconfiguration of SELinux.
