I've just upgraded the version of Samba we're running from 2.2.2 to 3.0.2a and am seeing an issue with permissions on directories. Users can still map the shares that are set up, but cannot access the directories within those shares. This is also not consistent; it's not happening to all users. Our environment: Samba 3.0.2a Domain Authentication to a Win2K server No Winbind Solaris 8 on a Sun E3000 server I'm inclined to back out the upgrade, but if there's a quick fix I'd prefer to implement that. Any ideas? Mike Mike Auleta Boeing IDS, Philadelphia 610-591-3916 Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who's following him?
What is the umask setting in the smb.conf file for your shares. I know I had
to play with the umask setting to get it to work on mine. Sometimes, the
umask setting doesn't even make sense, however I just set them to what I
needed the end result to be. Not sure if the /etc/bashrc setting plus this
setting is what is causing my weird umask setting, but its all working like
I like it now.
In addition, we have a different type of setup where the user owns his home
directory, however the admins group is the group owner of the directory, not
the users group. So every 20 minutes I have a quick script that goes out
there and changes the group ownership of any new file created to the admins
group for group for group ownership. We do this so that the admins can
modify any file under the home directories and profiles.
Example of umask setting:
[Profiles]
path = /home/profiles
browseable = no
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 707
nt acl support = yes
profile acls = yes

I don't want to open up the directory & file permissions for security
reasons. We set the gid bit on the directories so any new files or directories
that get created underneath get created with the correct group ownership. The
permissions on the directories are 770 and the users are members of the group
owner of the directories.
