SMB not working for some users after upgrade 6.4.0. upgrade

Hi Netgear,

 

I upgraded the firmware of my Readynas 314 to version 6.4.0. Everything worked after the upgrade, except SMB for some of our users (for example Wim) that where in the specified group, named "Users". I checked the "smbd" log file and found the following result:

 

[2015/11/15 14:26:43.257845,  2] ../source3/auth/auth.c:305(auth_check_ntlm_password)
  check_ntlm_password:  authentication for user [Wim] -> [Wim] -> [Wim] succeeded

 

So the login succeeded, but Windows 10 keep saying "Permission denied". I checked all the rights and they didn't changed. If I login with the same user throught FTP, it works fine. So the problem was not the password.

 

After searching en trying I found out that the problem was in de name of group, "Users". After I renamed it to "Medewerkers" (for example) SMB worked again. So I think SMB doesn't accept a group named "Users" anymore since the upgrade. If you have this problem to, maybe you could fix it or make "Users" a reserved name for groups. Because other people may have the same problem.

    This should be fixed in the 6.4.1 beta.

    8. Fix SMB access issues on shares restriced to the default "users" group.

      When is this beta expected to go live?  I have a user unable to modify an SMB share even though Everyone is granted read/write.

        Hi PipingRockIT,

         

        There's no ETA yet, but it will be available soon. I would like to know if this happens on a newly created share and other Windows machine. Try to install the SMB plus add-on and see if it helps.

         

         

        Kind regards,

  • This didn't seem to work for me unfortunately.  I however didn't see the SMB issues until the update to 6.4.1.  None of my network computers work, which are various types (Windows 7, Windows 10, Mac, etc)  Any thought to a work around I can use in the mean time?  My whole business works off that mapped network drive so this is really been a hendrence.  Lucally I keep an emergency backup but that only helps me for one computer.

      Is the share you are mapping fully public, or do you have file and/or network access restrictions?

  • I'd like to tag onto this thread.  It seems that I too have been having SMB issues since at least 10/2/15 (OS 6.2.4).  My ReadyNas 312 was upgraded to 6.2.4 on 5/2/15, 6.4.0 on 10/15/15 and 6.4.1 on 12/6/15.  I have access to the shares, but it is extremely slow enumerating the directories/thumbnails/file lockouts etc. (see thread https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/WIN-10-Slow-Directory-enumeration-SMB/m-p/1020276#M100163). 

     

    ReadyNas 312 OS 6.4.1  interacting with a Windows 10 PC.

     

    I examined the smbd.log file and there are errors almost every day involving multiple PIDs.  The authentication seems to be working properly.  The errors look like this:

    This for some reason only seems to effect my Windows 10 machine, and most likely not a Windows 7 laptop.  I can't be certain, but this seems to have cropped up since my upgrade to Win10.

     

    This is making me crazy.  It can take up to 2 minutes for a directory to display, even from a CMD prompt.

     

    Any help would be appreciated.

      Quick Revision,

       

      Seems that I did not explore the issue on my Win 7 laptop closely enough.  The issue is also effecting this machine, not just my Win 10 desktop.

        Hello TobyE,

         

        Can you try disabling then re-enabling the SMB please?

         

        You might also want to try loading 6.4.2-T59 (Beta 1).
