Hi,
I finally set up samba 3 with ads, and acl support and everything works just
great. The server is an AMD Duron 1200Mhz, 256Mb 266Mhz Ram, 2 ATA100 disks 10
Gb RAID1, 2 ATA133 200Gb RAID1 disks each one master on a separate ide port.
Forgive my english, it's my 17th consecutive hour at work and I'm pretty
tired.
This server, that it's going to replace a win2k box, it's a fileserver,
member of the active directory and has many shares that all users of the domain
can access and modify. I would like to avoid people to "accidentally"
change permissions, while Domain Admins should be able to do it. Here my
smb.conf:
[data]
path = /samba/shares/data
comment = data folder
read only = no
browseable = yes
valid users = '@DOMAIN\Domain Users'
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
directory security mask = 0000
security mask = 0000
inherit acls = yes
admin users = '@Domain Admins'
In this case no one can change permissions, not even the Admins Group. If users
try to do it they can only add new users to the share and finally end up being
unable to get into the share again.
Before bothering you with this, I red the smb.conf man but couldn't
completely figure out all the parameters that decide permissions (directory mask
and security mask are clear but I've seen the parameter "security
mode" and I couldn't undestrand how to use it since the example given
is to allow everyone to change permissions and I have not been able to find any
other example googling....my fault probably). I know I've been a bit
confusing, but in the end I think you understood what is my goal. I'm going
on experimenting and googling, but if there's anyone that already fixed
this, I would really appreciate to be pointed in the right direction. (docs or
whatever can help).
Another couple question, I'm moving all users share 12Gb from the win2k
server to samba and I'm seeing an heavy memory load while cpu is never more
than 40% with an average of 10%, is it normal? here's result of free:
[root@srvsmb01 root]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 255872 253464 2408 0 7548 90280
-/+ buffers/cache: 155636 100236
Swap: 522040 36556 485484
Last question, I can choose Fedora or Slackware 9.1 (both already set up) and
choose between kernel 2.4 and 2.6 (already compiled in both distro's). Would
I have any appreciable benefit from using 2.6.4 kernel (apart from ACL native
support) or is better to go for a more stable 2.4 kernel?
Are you still there??? Well, thanks for going this far. If anyone has any
suggestion that would be very appreciated, it's my first server.......
Have a nice day
