Hi, I'm having a slight problem with samba permissions. Here goes my scenario: Red Hat Linux 8.0 with samba I got a samba share "public" Users can access the share and write there what they need, but if a user creates a directory, other users can't access it. How can I configure things so that everyone in the group accesses everything in the share?

set a directory mask of 775
see the samba docs...
This parameter is the octal modes which are used when converting DOS
modes to UNIX modes when creating UNIX directories.
When a directory is created, the necessary permissions are
calculated according to the mapping from DOS modes to UNIX permissions,
and the resulting UNIX mode is then bit-wise 'AND'ed with this
parameter. This parameter may be thought of as a bit-wise MASK for the
UNIX modes of a directory. Any bit not set here will be removed from the
modes set on a directory when it is created.
The default value of this parameter removes the 'group' and
'other'
write bits from the UNIX mode, allowing only the user who owns the
directory to modify it.
Following this Samba will bit-wise 'OR' the UNIX mode created from
this parameter with the value of the force directory mode parameter.
This parameter is set to 000 by default (i.e. no extra mode bits are
added).
Note that this parameter does not apply to permissions set by
Windows NT/2000 ACL editors. If the administrator wishes to enforce a
mask on access control lists also, they need to set the directory
security mask.
See the force directory mode parameter to cause particular mode bits
to always be set on created directories.
See also the create mode parameter for masking mode bits on created
files, and the directory security mask parameter.
Also refer to the inherit permissions parameter.
Default: directory mask = 0755
Example: directory mask = 0775

Here is the situation. I have setup a samba server to authenticate against Active Directory. I have created a group under my linux server and created all the accounts that need to access the share on the samba server. I gave the group the rights to the samba share, but when a user adds to the share a file or directory and I view the permissions under linux the owner of that new file, or directory is not the group anymore, its the creator. which creates a big problem because the group needs total access to any directory under the share and needs to have full access which I setup intially but when a user in the group creates a file he or she own it and other users can write to that directory.
Here is the situation. I have setup a samba server to authenticate against Active Directory. I have created a group under my Linux server and created all the accounts that need to access the share and placed them in the Linux group on the samba server. I gave the group full rights to the samba share, but when a user from the group adds to the samba share a file or directory he or she now owns the file or new directory, and if another user tries to add to the file or create a file or another directory under the new created file or directory the user gets permission denied and I have to re-apply the permissions from the root of the samba share so the group owns everything again and not individual users. How can I setup the share so only the group owns it no matter what user in the group adds to the share. Thank you, Juan

Hi, I am a newbie here. I am runnning Samba 2.2.3a which act as a NT workstation connecting to CNS-NT domain. When I tried to connect to Samba, \\Bigred\home is not accessible, you might not have permission to use this network resource. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Paul Hong Samba Newbie.
