Okay, I've got one for you all. I am trying to setup a samba share on one server, mount it on another server, and ftp in to the second server and upload/download to the share. Confused yet? :) For instance: 1. server1 has a share /data 2. server2 mounts the //server1/data share to /mnt/data_on_server1 3. ftp client on workstation logs into server2 and can upload/dowload to /mnt/data_on_server1 I have the download working, but I cannot upload (permission denied). I am mounting the share as: mount -t smbfs -o username=username,uid=0,gid=505 //server1/data /mnt/data_on_server1 It mounts the share as owner root (uid=0) and group data (gid=505), but the permissions are rwxr-xr-x on /mnt/data_on_server1 I want to have the permissions on /mnt/data_on_server1 read rwxrwx--- so that only root and members of group data on server2 can upload/download to the share. Well, it would be nice just to get upload working period, but ideally I would like the above permissions. Here is my smb.conf file entry on server1 just in case someone needs it. [DATA] comment = datastor path = /data/stor browseable = no valid users = @mp3 @admin write list = @admin force group = admin read only = yes I would appreciate it a bunch if someone could give some pointers on getting this working. Thanks. _________________________________ Matt Krause GT3NE1@charter.net -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
