Samba Techs,
***Question***
Can you prevent file permission problems on Samba mounts?
I have Samba 2.0.5a loaded on our SUN SPARCcenter 2000's and our HP-UX
9000's and I have had a file permission problem ever since 1.9.8 was
installed
way back when. Every once in a while we have a situation where someone copies a
file from we'll say /info8/pub/word.document, to there personal directory,
edits
the file and pastes it back to it's original location, and when another
person
from "the same group" tries to access the file, there permissions are
denied. I
have spent many many hours looking into this issue and I cannot come up with a
solution. Here are a few things I have tried:
1. Change the default umask on the UNIX machine to 0000 so that it would quit
taking away the "write" permission.
2. Set a sticky bit to particular directories
3. Upgraded to a 2.0 version and update the smb.conf file to be set up as a
share (example below)
[info8]
comment = Public Directory
path = /info8/pub
browsable = yes
writeable = yes
valid users = @exec @chc
write list = @exec @chc
create mask = 777
directory mask = 777
map archive = yes
map system = yes
map hidden = yes
veto oplock files = /*.dbm/*.htm/
***Question***
To make a file-share work does it have to be "name specific". For
example is it
alright for the mount to be called [info8] or does it have to say something like
[first-share]. Because with the setup I have above, which I created be a
file-share to prevent the permission problems, still isn't fixing the
problem!
I even looked through your FAQ list on the Samba website and found Eric Praetzel
that has had the same problems. I emailed him to see if he ever found a fix but
he said that no one had suggested anything that worked.
THANKS in advance for any support you can give me!

If not, you may have to use a "force group" option on that share, so the files there always belong to the same group. --dave (madly blowing my own horn) c-b -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

Hi ! I successfully joined my samba 2.2.5 serwer to nt domain - i also use winbindd - everything should works ok. I got problem when i try to "take ownership", change ownership and modes from nt station. I am logged as domain admin - admin - and i got communicate: Unable to take ownership because the account "SRUBKA\admin" could not be accessed on the remote machine due to the following error: The account could not be found. So i tryed to make that account from NT on SRUBKA - through user manager. - error said: access is denied. I also cant change default permissions on share made on SRUBKA through server manager - access is denied. I got proper entiers in /etc/smbusers root = admin Administrator linux 2.4.18 with acls samba 2.2.5 rh7.2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Zobacz Mi?dzynarodowy Turniej Tenisowy IDEA PROKOM OPEN on line!
