Hello list readers, After setting up a Samba PDC on Suse Linux prof. 9.1. I succeeded in making my Windows XP prof. workstation a member of the Samba domain. When I, after succesfully logging in to the domain from XP, create or copy a file in my own user directory (guus) permissions on te linux machine are set right, like here: -rwxrwxr--+ 1 guus users 4 2004-07-13 23:16 /home/guus/test However, when I create or copy a file in the share pub the rights look like this: -rwx------ 1 guus users 4 2004-07-13 23:19 /home/pub/test Although the create mask for the share pub is set to 0775 so the rights should look like -rwxrwxr-x+. The directories where these files are in have rights -rwxrwxr-x+ for user guus en group users. I tried almost everything including reading the official Samba 3 howto reader and tried various configurations in smb.conf. Both by editing by hand and by using the swat tool and restart Samba each time, renew login etc. Unfortunately I couldn't solve this problem. Can anyone give me a hand please? Here is a listing of my smb.conf: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2004/07/13 22:20:22 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = THNET server string = Samba interfaces = eth0, 10.0.0.130/24, lo bind interfaces only = Yes map to guest = Bad User passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd guest account = guest passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *changed* passwd chat debug = Yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers unix password sync = Yes log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m debug uid = Yes name resolve order = dns wins bcast host lmhosts socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY hostname lookups = Yes printcap name = /etc/printcap add user script = ldapsmb -a -u delete user script = ldapsmb -d -u add group script = ldapsmb -a -g delete group script = ldapsmb -d -g add user to group script = ldapsmb -j -u delete user from group script = ldapsmb -j -u set primary group script = ldapsmb -m -u add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ shutdown script = ldapsmb --shutdown abort shutdown script = ldapsmb --abortshutdown logon script = start.bat logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u logon drive = P: domain logons = Yes os level = 65 domain master = Yes wins support = Yes ldap suffix = dc=domain, dc=com ldap ssl = no add share command = /var/lib/samba/scripts/modify_samba_config.pl delete share command = /var/lib/samba/scripts/modify_samba_config.pl socket address = 10.0.0.130 write list = guus printer admin = @ntadmin, root, administrator create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0775 force security mode = 0770 directory mask = 0777 force directory mode = 0775 force directory security mode = 0770 hosts allow = 10.0.0.0/24, 127.0.0.1/24 hosts deny = ALL printing = lprng print command = lpr -r -P'%p' %s lpq command = lpq -P'%p' lprm command = lprm -P'%p' %j lppause command = lpc hold '%p' %j lpresume command = lpc release '%p' %j queuepause command = lpc stop '%p' queueresume command = lpc start '%p' [profiles] path = /var/lib/samba/profiles read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon browseable = No [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0755 directory mask = 0755 browseable = No [users] comment = All users path = /home read only = No create mask = 0744 directory mask = 0744 inherit permissions = Yes guest ok = Yes veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/ [pdf] comment = PDF creator path = /var/tmp create mask = 0600 guest ok = Yes printable = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = Yes printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin, root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 printable = Yes [pub] comment = pub path = /home/pub read only = No create mask = 0775 security mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 inherit permissions = Yes guest ok = Yes [linux_docs] comment = Linux docs path = /usr/share/doc/ [mfc3820cn] path = /var/tmp printable = Yes Thanks you very much in advance.
