Hi I am having problems with permissions when creating a share on a Linux Server. The permissions changes every time from: drwxr-wxr-wxr to drwxr-xr-x (chmod 777 or chmod a+wrx) I can access the share, but I cannot create new files, copy etc. Mandrake 10.0 for i586 Umask = u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx Samba Version 3.0.2a [test] path = /home/test valid users = users browsable = no guest = no writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0765 inherit permissions = Yes inherit acls = yes available = yes Owner = "test" Group = "root" ( I have also tried the group name: staff) Please advice .. Thx Morn? ##################################################################################### This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by FinSource Infrastructure Services' MailMarshal #####################################################################################
Could it be the 'msec' program that Mandrake runs from /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.hourly (possibly /etc/cron.weekly)? We've had permissions change for now reason and found out that it was setting them every hour or so. . .
