opensuse 10/find / samba-3.0.20b-3.3
I'm trying to change directory permissions on a share so all users can
modify files in the share and when I do as suggested in Ch15 of Samba Howto the
following happens
$ find `directory_name' -type d -exec chown nobody:users {}\;
find: missing argument to `-exec'

Users are now able to edit files except for MS Office files on the share. When ever they edit an excel or word file it wants to create a new file and gives respective user as the owner. I did the chmod g+s and force create mode 0660/force directory mode 0770 but it didn't seem to make any difference (yes I've restarted nmb/smb).

What you need to do is take a step back and decide what you want and then we can help you make it happen. 1) Do you want files to be "owned", but still managable ( r/w ) by everyone? I assumed they needed to be owned by nobody so everyone can modify word/excel files. It's a share drive mapped on their xp machines 2) Do you just want a anonymous share where everyone dumps files as a common user? Basically yes. 3) Do you want users to only be able to update there own files? No. I thought that's what the home shares would be for. Both of these are possible with some small changes to your config. Cheers, Eric On 4/26/06, Chris Boyd <Chris.Boyd@usit.ie> wrote:> > Sorry here's the permissions.

You have another option.
If you put all the user in a group, make appropriate changes to the
directory and smb.conf all the files will be "owned" but still
editable by
anyone. This will give a level of accountability since you can see who made
which file. We use this scenario locally with much success.
http://www.udel.edu/topics/os/unix/general/groupsharing.html *permission
changes for unix sharing of the directory, for samba sharing the directory
just needs to be owned by root:group and at least rwxrwx---.
Example [share] - from my own configs
[ritstaff]
path = /network/rit/lab/ritstaff
force group = ritstaff
read only = No
block size = 8192 # large share (eg >500g) OS X compatibility
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
valid users = @ritstaff # very important
