From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Description of problem: In smb.conf, share-level host based access controls (eg 'hosts allow') can grant less, but never more, access than the global hosts based access controls. However, if smb.conf looks like this: -- [global] hosts allow 192.168.0. <snip> [myshare] hosts allow 192.168.1. -- 'testparm smb.conf mymachine 192.168.1.5' will list myshare as accessable, but because myshare's hosts allow line cannot grant access to networks that the global hosts allow does not grant access to, any actual attempt to connect will be denied. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Ingredients: Samba client and server on different networks 1. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf so the the [global] section does not allow the client's network, but one share does (as above) 2. Run 'testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf <hostname> <hostIP>' -- the share will be listed as accessable. 3. Run 'smbclient //smbserver/share -I <smbserverIP>' connection will be refused. Additional info:
