Cifs user not being created

[Drogo]

System info; Asrock C2550, 16G ECC ram, using ZFS, running version 9.2.1.6

I'm unable to access a newly created CIFS share that is not guest accessible. In searching the forums and internet, it turns out that my Cifs user is not being created.

The user was created via the gui, and is able to access the box via ssh & gui without issue. It looks like I can't just create the user via CLI as it won't survive a reboot. Do I have to delete the user then recreate it? What effect will that have on existing files? Or will I just be able to use the same UID and have it work out?

Thanks!

Correct. Users/groups made at the CLI are not added to the configuration database and thus no longer exist on a reboot. Delete the user from the CLI then recreate at the GUI.

Removed via the CLI, but the user still persists in the GUI. Removing from there as well won't remove any files owned by the user, correct?

Edit: I decided to just go for it since I have several backups as well as snapshots. That worked. I'm not able to access the share directly since I'm not on-site, but I was able to successfully authenticate via smbclient using another host on the local network, which used to fail.

Thanks!!

Now I'm confused. Was the user created by the CLI? If so, how did it get into the GUI?

The user was originally created via the GUI.

Not sure if it's related, but I had some rrd issues related to a time change last week. The clock was moved back, so the rrd file wouldn't update files that it saw to be in the future. As a result of that, half my reporting graphs were blank. I fixed that by deleting the appropriate rrd files. Not sure if this is somehow related to the clock skew.
