I finally updated our in-house file server from 13.04 to 14.04 yesterday. The upgrade went fine, but sadly, it is no longer much of a file server. Samba will no longer allow Windows machines to browse the list of shares and only users with an account on the server itself can connect (and THAT requires them to enter their username/password).
Under 13.04 all of our shares were public and did not require users to enter any credentials. Browsing the list of shares worked great.
I've been trying to poke at the smb.conf file to get it to work with no success. I found out that 'service samba stop|start|restart' doesn't work, but using smbd (and nmbd, if necessary) DOES work. I've followed several different sets of configuration instructions, including the ones on the samba wiki, and still nothing is working. I MUST get this working again FAST.
I've ensured that ALL shared directories have permission set to 777. Everything is owned by nobody. The smbuser was a suggestion from one of the pages that supposedly had the steps to "make it work."
Here's the output from testparm -s:
root@fs1:~# testparm -s
