I just upgraded to unraid 5.  I ran the new permissions utility (which runs very quickly).  In windows I was able to access the shares without creating a user on unraid.  I also did not have to input a username and password.  I have a popcorn hour A300.  It wants a username and password for my share.  This was not set this way prior to the upgrade.  In smb it is set to Public.  Can you help me fix the permissions on my "Movies" share so that it does not require a username and password?  The popcorn hour is not good remebering credentials after it has rebooted.

 

Thanks

check your settings of the Movies share in the unraid webgui.

maybe disable smb sharing and enable it again. set security to public.

I am able to remote in and check my setting.  The share is set to public but I went ahead and hit apply which stopped and restarted smb.  Although I cannot test it until I get home.  I will test this as soon as I get home and will post my results.  Is there anyway to telnet in and check to see if the share requires authentication or not?

The new permissions script does not run quickly. Leave the page open overnight after starting it.

Ran into a similar issue with shares not working. Can you confirm that the issue is needing to rerun the new permissions script? I'm guessing it's going to take 20 hours or something like that. If there's a different issue, I'd rather not wait.

I am currently trying to work through the permissions bug with my server.  I am still researching why I have the share set to public and it requires a password.  The password requirement is not in windows, it is my popcorn hour.  When I attempt to access the share through the popcorn hour it requires username and password.  This was never required until I upgraded from 4.7 to 5rc8.

Well I am still having permission issues.  I have ran the new permissions utility multiple time trying to fix the permission issues.  For now I just want my shares to be public and not require a password.  I the shares set to public.  I have deleted and windows permission through Win 7 credential manager.

 

When i run the new permissions utility, I can access the user shares via windows.  I have yamj installed.  When I telnet to tower, I can only login as root.  When I attempt to run yamj via telnet I get permission denied.  I have to run the following 2 commands in order to run yamj-rescan:

 

find /mnt/ -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \;

chmod +x /mnt/user/Movies/YAMJ/My_YAMJ.sh

 

Then I can run yamj-rescan.

 

When I attempt to access the share via my Popcorn hour A300 it wants a username and password.  I have all permissions to public.  I have stopped and restarted the server.  i have a few shares but the main one I am accessing from the popcorn hour A300 is Movies.

 

ideas?

Here is a screenshot that caught my eye

 

 

I went ahead and ran a parity chaeck.  No errors still but looking at the picture above it states total 2tb for the parity check???  I have 6 total 2 tb disks for a total of 12tb.Am I reading this wrong or does my server have something seriously wrong with it???

 

Suggestions/help please

The "Total size" field refers to the size of your parity drive.  There is nothing wrong.

Are you trying to access the shares through YAMJ? You can't run that service on the server as user root. You have to run it as user nobody. Logon and "su nobody" and try it. I don't use it so I can't help much more but data accessing apps generally need to run as user nobody (or possibly as a specific user if the data is only for that user).

Well I need to figure out both.  How to telnet and run the yamj service and why my popcorn hour insists and a username and password when accessing my unraid server.  I have the permissions set to public.

So I am attempting to figure out how to run yamy-recan.  This is what I am trying:

 

 

Tower login: root

Linux 3.4.11-unRAID.

root@Tower:~# sudo -u nobody yamaj-rescan

sudo: yamaj-rescan: command not found

root@Tower:~# sudo -u nobody yamj-rescan

sudo: unable to execute .//yamj-rescan: Permission denied

 

 

you can see the end result would someone please help me resolve this part of my issue

 

Please help me run this, I am in kind of a time crunch

 

Hunter,

The user nobody doesn't have permission to run the program. You need to change the permission of that program to allow nobody to run it.

I believe I need to take ownership of the file.  How does one do that in unraid?  Can it be done through mc?

Enter "chown nobody yamj-rescan"

This is what I get:

 

root@Tower:~# chown nobody yamj-rescan

chown: changing ownership of `yamj-rescan': Operation not permitted

 

I also tried

root@Tower:~# chown nobody users yamj-rescan

chown: cannot access `users': No such file or directory

chown: changing ownership of `yamj-rescan': Operation not permitted

 

Ideas?

 

I'd think you need to cd to the directory containing yamj-rescan or you need to give the path.

So I think I need to conquer my smb issues.  I enabled nfs.  It is set to public.  I can access the share with no username and password via nfs.  Now smb, I have smb set to public.  In the popcorn hour When I attempt to add a smb share, it asks for username and password.  I have stopped and restarted smb.  I have set it to secure, then reset it back to public with no change.  I read a post by limetech suggesting just to put say PCH as a username.  I get a bad username error.  I have reset my popcorn hour back to factory defaults with no change.  What can I do to attempt to fix my smb permissions to public?  By the way I have ran the permissions utility multiple times with the same result.

This is what I get:

 

root@Tower:~# chown nobody yamj-rescan

chown: changing ownership of `yamj-rescan': Operation not permitted

 

I also tried

root@Tower:~# chown nobody users yamj-rescan

chown: cannot access `users': No such file or directory

chown: changing ownership of `yamj-rescan': Operation not permitted
