Feisty Fawn breaks Samba “Force User” Option

On May 3, 2008, in Linux, by Chris Carey

After upgrading to feisty Fawn, I could not connect to a Samba share. I was receiving a authentication error, strangely enough.

Other folders authenticated just fine. I tracked it down to the “force user” option in smb.conf.
