Samba error: change_to_user_internal

[Gamle]

Hi LTT forum.

 

I have a problem with Samba on CentOS 8 that I have been unable to figure out over the past few days. I can see on Google that i'm not the only one with the problem, but haven't yet found a solution there work for me.

 

I created a directory like many others with the same access and Samba setup, but for some reason I can't seem to get rid of a specific error, that make the content in that shared folder unavailable.

 

Directory and Samba information

• drwxrwx---. 2 myuser mygroup 6 Mar 11 16:37 myfolder
• chcon -R -t samba_share_t /mnt/myshares (myfolder is in-side that directory)
• semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t "/mnt/myshares(/.*)?"

[MyFolder]
        comment = My folder
        path = /mnt/myshares/myfolder
        read only = no
        guest ok = no
        create mask = 0770
        force create mode = 0770
        directory mask = 2770
        force directory mode = 2770
        force user = myuser
        force group = mygroup
        browseable = yes
        valid users = myuser @mygroup

Error log

• change_to_user_internal: chdir_current_service() failed!
• [2020/03/14 00:07:20.800120, 0] ../../source3/smbd/uid.c:412(change_to_user_internal)

Crossing finger for a solution.

I have a basic tutorial on setting up SAMBA on Debian. I don't know about RHEL. Did you add your user UNIX user to the SAMBA user config?

Yes it is.

 

I also have other shares to the same user and thay work without any problems, but for some reason when i try adding a new folder and share it, I keep getting that error only when trying to access that share. Renaming the share and creating an other directory did not work either.
