To Whom it May Concern
I am a linux newbie and need some help with my installation of Samba on
Mandrake 9.2. Below is a copy of the smb.conf file
global]
workgroup = PDC_A
server string = Samba Server %v
printcap name = cups
load printers = yes
printing = cups
printer admin = @adm
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
map to guest = bad user
security = domain
password server = *
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
winbind uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
winbind separator = +
winbind use default domain = yes
template homedir = /home/%D/%U
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
At the moment we have a NT4.0 server that is our file server as well as
our PDC. I am trying to introduce the Samba server to take over the
file and print share role. I have managed to set it to to where I can
see both the individual shares as well as the public dir. but at
intermittent times the permissions on the /home/public directory change.
I have to use chmod 777 /home/public to allow users to see the
directory.
How do I stop the permissions changing once I open up that directory for
all users to read and write to it?

Tony
