I'm trying to set up some options in Samba server but I don't get User2 to work.
Only User1 and Public. What have I written wrong ? I'm on build 15962-mega

[Global]

server string = rt-n16
workgroup = workgroup
interfaces = br*                 <<<=== does this work with 15962-mega ?                
bind interfaces only = Yes
map to guest = Bad User
smb passwd file = /var/samba/smbpasswd
private dir = /var/samba
passdb backend = smbpasswd
log file = /var/smbd.log
max log size = 1000
printing = none
load printers = No
usershare allow guests = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY


[User1]
comment = User1 share
path = /mnt/User1
read only = No
guest ok = No
valid users = User1

[User2]
comment = User2 share
path = /mnt/User2
read only = No
guest ok = No
valid users = User2

[Public]
comment = Public Share
path = /mnt/public
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
guest only = Yes

Looks fine to me, if you log in via ssh, do you see the two user entries in:

/etc/passwd

What are the permissions of /mnt/User2

ls -la /mnt/User2

This in /etc/passwd :
user1:*:1000:1000:user1:/var:/bin/false
user2:*:1001:1001:user2:/var:/bin/false

root@NOD-E36-01:~# ls -la /mnt/User2
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root        16384 Jan 11 21:01 .
drwxr-xr-x    5 root     root        16384 Jan 11 21:00 ..
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           12 Jan 11 17:28 user2.txt

That what I get

And this in Custom Configuration box:

[global]
server string = rt-n16
workgroup = workgroup&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;
interfaces = br*&#9;&#9;&#9;&#9;
bind interfaces only = yes
map to guest = Bad User
smb passwd file = /var/samba/smbpasswd
private dir = /var/samba
passdb backend = smbpasswd
log file = /var/smbd.log
max log size = 1000
printing = none
load printers = no
usershare allow guests = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY

[user1]
comment = user1 share
path = /mnt/user1
read only = no
guest ok = no
valid users = user1

[user2]
comment = user2 share
path = /mnt/user2
read only = no
guest ok = no
valid users = user2

[public]
comment = public Share
path = /mnt/public
read only = no
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes

I haven't mention I tested with FAT32 USB

Fat32:-) Add this line to your [user2] definition:

force user = root

e.g.:

[user2]
comment = user2 share
path = /mnt/user2
read only = no
guest ok = no
valid users = user2
force user = root

When I put "force user = root" to user2 then I get write acess to user2 I only testing with FAT32 I   usually use Ext3 who is much faster.

I have found this in your older threed, can this be the problem ?

If you first connect to Share1 and then to Share2 Windows is still holding a
connection to Share1 and that is why Wikndows tells you that you cannot
connect multiple times with different users, see the error message:-)
So this is purely a windows problem, which can solved for example through a reboot.

Is there any other way to "relese" holding ?

It sometimes works if you disconnect the network share by rightclicking on the share.

The problem why you need force user = root is that by default samba accesses the drive as the specified user in case of fat32 dd-wrts default is to mount a fat32 as root without setting an umask so other users have rights.
In my previous builds I did mount a fat32 partition with umask, but as dd-wrt guys did not follow my way and since I want to comply with dd-wrt as much as possible I adopted dd-wrts way. The less differences I have the easier I can merge in their updates.

Okey
Is this only related to Fat32, with Ext3 I don't need to do put forced user in?
I have "force user = root" in user1, user2 and public then I get write access to them. Have I get this right ?

@Kong

I tested again. Put samba settings in custom configuration box and rebot PC I can't browse public folder I have to login with either user1 or user 2 login. after that I can use public but I still have to login to user1 or user 2.

What is the different between your build and that I'm testing with, 15962-mega ? Fat32 I knowing but more ?

I have tseted much more and It's working if I use Vista.
When I tested from my windows 7 ultimate x64 I have to set user/password to reach public folder.  Using Ext3 filesystem
I have set:
HKLM\System\CCS\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
            DWORD  DomainCompatibilityMode = 1
            DWORD  DNSNameResolutionRequired = 0

Have set "Network security: LAN Manager authentication level" to "1"
I still get login "windows security" and "assign networkpassword"

If I just put ex: user: "a" password: "a" then I can reach public
>>> How to set a blank password to public ??? <<<

Now I'm out of ideas
