After working on the server the smb and ftp access to the /home dir shares give access denied.

The shares on the /srv/www is no problem.

home and srv are on separed partitions.

[2024/10/20 01:49:19.802962, 0] …/…/source3/smbd/smb2_service.c:117(chdir_current_service)
chdir_current_service: vfs_ChDir(/home/robkalmeijer) failed: Permission denied. Current token: uid=1000, gid=1000, 2 groups: 1000 100

The samba server has worked perfect.

Was working on the apache server when things started.

Working on the server is no problem.

Windows cannot make connection to /home/robkalmeijer, /home/users, /home/public shares
www1 and www2 no problem.

Restarting stoped it.

What permissions are set on /home and /home/robkalmeijer ?

Is ‘robkalmeijer’ a Samba user ?

Also, are you aware that your ‘[public]’ share isn’t actually public ?

Check directory permissions:
Verify that the directories under /home (e.g., /home/robkalmeijer, /home/user, /home/public) have the appropriate read/write permissions as required by the Samba configuration:

ls -ld /home/robkalmeijer /home/user /home/public

Update:

Working on the /home partition with:
SSH no problem.
Mounting with NFS on other linux machine no problem
Mounting with CIFS access denied with ALL subdirs
Mounting with CIFS works on www shares
FTP access denied.

There must be something with SELinux settings

SSH access to my accout failled to so I have add it again after removing it.

The home dir is still not accessible but /home/users and /home/puplic are again.

Set smbpasswd again also.

If it is, then it is easy to prove, set ‘SELINUX=disabled’ in /etc/sysconfig/selinux and reboot, if everything now works, it is Selinux, but don’t forget to put Selinux back to ‘enforcing’.

Provide the smb.conf you posted earlier is what is on disk, then I am willing to put money on your ‘public’ share not being public.

SOLVED

Last thing to do was to chown was set to root:root not robkalmeijer:robkalmeijer
