I'm connecting to 1.9.18p8 on Linux 2.0.33 from an NT 4.0 workstation. I
connect to the share with username phl and unencrypted passwords.
In smb.conf, "force group=httpd" for the share called
"sites." Smbstatus
correctly reports:
[root@www /sites]# smbstatus
Samba version 1.9.18p8
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------
sites phl httpd 7422 sarakitty (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) Wed Jun
24 11:38:15 1998
However when I create a file from NT, I get this:
[root@www /sites]# ls -l
total 360
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root httpd 0 Jun 24 11:38 New Text Document.txt
That is, the user is always root, not phl. This also happens even if I
use "force user = phl" for this share. There are no other "force
user"
entries in smb.conf.
The directory itself is /home/httpd/sites. sites is owned by phl.httpd as
are all its subdirectories and its parent, /home/httpd. /home is owned by
root.root.
Any ideas?
