Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
I want to create a share that will force users to a ID and group, allow
certain users write privileges to certain directories only and others read
only. I have set this up and every time I create a file the owner is set to
root and the group is correct. Any help would be great, the following is
what I have in the smb.conf file:
[migrate]
path = /lanman/Users/content_migration
valid users = eoz egh bfs txh
admin users = eoz egh bfs txh
read list = eoz egh bfs txh
write list = eoz egh bfs txh
force user = migrate
force group = segrp
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
browseable = No

Ed,
Since all your "valid users" are also "admin users" and
admin users
processes run as root on the server you end up with files owned by root.
Why it doesn't consult "force user", I'm not user. Maybe
'cause you're
already root?
Doug

Hi
I have a little problem with samba users and changing owner files on
samba server.
[filmy]
path = /pub/filmy
create mode = 644
force create mode = 644
directory mask = 755
force directory mode = 755
readonly = no
dos filemode = yes
valid users = leo sarak
force user = filmy
force group = zasoby
this is part of my smb.conf (samba ver 2.2.1)
I want that any files and dirs on samba server which were moved/copied
by leo and sarak (me ;)) change ownership to filmy:zasoby. Its working
only for coping now. When i move any file (using windows) on samba
server, ownership is as it was before.
Can anybody advise me something?
Sorry of my poor english
Thx

Hello, I am using a samba share to upload files from my PC to an intranet server running apache on red hat 6.2. However, i always want the user/owner of the file to be apache and the group to be webdev. BUt even though I set these options in samba when I create a file and upload to the intranet via the samba share for some reason the user/owner of the file is always root. Why?? The options i used were force user and force group. Has anyone any ideas? Or maybe there is a Linux command I can use to force the owner of file for certain directories?

Jerry, Yes I had the Admin useres set as well as the valid users. I had entered a number of usernames in both. Should this make a difference? I deleted the entries in admin users and then created a new file but the owner was still set to root.!?!? I still have the force user set to apache but it doesnt seem to work. I hope you can help some more... thanks Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2002 08:55:04 -0500 (CDT) From: Gerald Carter <jerry@samba.org> To: "Ssltbivdc.com" <stars@ssltbivdc.com> Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Re: [Samba] force user On Thu, 26 Sep 2002, Ssltbivdc.com wrote:> Hello, > I am using a samba share to upload files from my PC to an intranet server > running apache on red hat 6.2. > > However, i always want the user/owner of the file to be apache and thegroup> to be webdev.

Jerry, Thanks for that - yes -once i removed the admin user and restarted samba it used the username in the force user field. many thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald (Jerry) Carter" <jerry@samba.org> To: "info" <info@ssltbivdc.com> Cc: <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2002 5:31 AM Subject: Re: force user> On Tue, 1 Oct 2002, info wrote: > > > Yes I had the Admin useres set as well as the valid users.
