@ John McC,
You have my respect for admitting you are in over your head. You aren't alone. It's sad to see how many people won't admit that they can't do something and spend tons of money and time on projects they just don't understand.
Good luck to you with the Synology. Do keep backups! You never know when things might go bad.
pdbedit -L
Code:pdbedit -L
pdbedit -L
pdbedit -a -u myuser
Okey, so I've been dealing with this exact same issue for this entire week and I think I've found the problem (and solution).
The problem here is in the order we configure stuff, if I'm not mistaken if you follow the wiki example step by step the resulting share will not work.
So the problem is that, on a fresh install of FreeNAS, if you create users/groups BEFORE starting at least once the CIFS service, then the users are NOT synced across the system database and sambas database. You can check this by running the following command as root:
Code:pdbedit -L
This command should show you every user that's in sambas database, in fact if you run this before starting at least once CIFS then it will print some errors.
After starting CIFS every user you create AFTER that will appear under sambas database. Every user created before will not.
The steps that I've followed and have worked flawlessly in the last 3 fresh test installs I did were:
1. Create new volume under storage
2. Go to "System > Settings > Advanced" and set "System dataset pool" to the volume you've just created
3. Go to "Services > CIFS", configure at will (I only changed NetBIOS name, WORKGROUP and Description).
4. Go to "Services > Control Services" and start CIFS service.
5. Now yes, you can start adding users and groups at will, you should see that if you run the command from above after each user is created it is synced across DBs.
6. Go to "Sharing > Windows (CIFS) Shares" and add as many as you like
So that's it, the problem is that if CIFS is not started at least once, some samba configuration files are not created, and the Web GUI cannot synced newly created users.
Hope this helps someone.
The correct path is \\ipaddress\sharename
Is your share name configured as FREENAS?
