This file server was working fine in testing, authenticating against Active Directory no problem. Just last night I put out a script to switch users from our old Windows 2000 file server to this samba server and a lot of people are getting "Access is Denied" errors when connecting to the share.

Here is the samba log for one of the machines that get access is denied:

-----------------------------
[2006/11/20 08:32:00, 1] param/params.c:parameter(383)
params.c:parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration
file: recycle: touch_mtime
[2006/11/20 08:32:00, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(941)
192.168.10.167 (192.168.10.167) connect to service share initially as user BUCOKS\jhokr (uid=10174, gid=10002) (pid 8082) [2006/11/20 08:32:00, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(150)
chdir (/export/share) failed
[2006/11/20 08:32:00, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(150)
chdir (/export/share) failed
[2006/11/20 08:32:00, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(150)
chdir (/export/share) failed
[2006/11/20 08:32:00, 0] smbd/service.c:set_current_service(150)
chdir (/export/share) failed
-----------------------------

And then that last error seems to appear every time a connection is attempted. I'm stumped and need help!!

BTW: the same users CAN get to the "homes" share, but not our main file share.

Ugh, ok, figured it out. I need to have the x permission set for people to traverse the root directory (I though the r permission was enough).
