hi all...
i have a little problem with an include statement in my smb.conf.
what i want to achieve is to allow the "administrator" user access to
"read/write/browse" to all the users home drives under
"/array2/samba/homes"
can anyone see why even after the include file was added, the
administrator user is not able to browse /array2/samba/homes/* ?
[homes]
browseable = no
writeable = Yes
include = /etc/samba/%U
path = /array2/samba/homes/%U
force create mode = 770
create mask = 0770
#include file called "administrator"
[homes]
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
path = /array2/samba/homes/
I could be missing something, but it sounds like your problem comes from the UNIX side of the server. 'administrator' would have to be a UNIX user with permission to rwx those directories. e.g. you could create a new group 'administrator,' make all the home folders owned by <username>and 'administrator' group with 770 permissions. Make administrator a member of administrator group (add to /etc/group) and he should be able to rwx. I think?
