Description Philipp Hahn

2015-08-17 11:15:00 CEST

The UMC module is missing a detailed description for sambaValidUsers and sambaInvalidUsers:

udm shares/share
...
  Samba permissions:
...
                sambaValidUsers (samba)                  Valid users or groups
                sambaInvalidUsers (samba)                Invalid users or groups

<http://docs.univention.de/manual-4.0.html#idp14257568> Table 11.4. 'Samba permissions' tab (advanced settings) has this valuable hint, which should be available from UMC inline:

> The entries are to be separated by spaces. The special characters @, + and & can be used in connection with the group name for assigning certain permissions to the users of the stated group for accessing the Samba share:
> * A name beginning with the character @ will first be interpreted as a NIS Netgroup. Should no NIS Netgroup of this name be found, the name will be considered as a UNIX group.
> * A name beginning with the character + will be exclusively considered as a UNIX group, a name beginning with the character & will be exclusively considered as a NIS Netgroup.
> * A name beginning with the characters +&, will first be interpreted as a UNIX group. Should no UNIX group of this name be found, the name will be considered as a NIS Netgroup. The characters &+ as the beginning of a name correspond to the character @.

Reported by a customer.
Also missing description how to set valid groups or users with spaces.

Correct answer:
@"Domain Users"

Maybe we should make UMC quote (and de-quote for display) groups containing space correctly automatically.

Yes, see also Bug #40599 containing a patch which does this for sambaWriteList.
