Hi all,
I am configuring a samba server on kubuntu 7.04, samba 3.x but am
having permission bit problems. I have googled, read, experimented but
am still stuck. I am trying to allow the permissions to be set on the
files in my shares without restriction, so I have set various masks to
no avail. This is my configuration and problem ...
With the samba server running on my machine, and a need for me to
access it I wrote the following script that starts up after the samba
server has started.
# To get round running samba server and access samba on same machine
# and to make the mounting process bombproof
smb_mount() {
declare -i i=0
until cat /etc/mtab | grep //127.0.0.1/$1 &> /dev/null || [ $i -ge 3 ];
do
mount -t smbfs //127.0.0.1/$1 /mnt/$1 -o
credentials=/home/dave/.smbpw,uid=dave,gid=dave,fmask=$2,dmask=$3,lfs
sleep 2
i=$i+1
done
}
smb_mount common 0777 0777 &
smb_mount windows 0777 0777 &
smb_mount archive 0777 0777 &
root@dave-desktop:~#
It mounts my three shares as /mnt/common ... windows & archive as
expected. (the whole timing loop thing is because sometimes samba has
not fully started up at this point) With a /etc/profile umask of 077

-r-xr-xr-x 1 dave dave 0 2007-06-28 19:08 test
dave@dave-desktop:/mnt/common$
so why are there still r & x bits set ?
Its probarbly best if I show you my smb.conf file - any help much
appreciated. I have already setup ...
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0
force directory mode = 0
security mask = 0777
force security mode = 0
directory security mask = 0777
force directory security mode = 0
in [global] to try and enforce open permission bits, though most are
supposed to default to non restrictive masks.
Any help or pointers would be very much appreciated :)
Cheers
Dave
