hi all
i'm running into a little problem when using preexec scripts for the
creation
of dir's on my samba server....
script
---
#! /bin/sh
name=`getent passwd | grep %U | awk -F: '{print $5}'`
mkdir /samba/test/"$name"
---
snip of smb.conf
---
[test]
path = /samba/test
preexec = /root/script
browseable = Yes
writeable = Yes
valid users = @mygroup
force group = @mygroup
create mask = 0770
force create mode = 770
---
anyone have any idea why the dir is not created under "/samba/test" ?

You could do something like preexec = /root/script %U in smb.conf, and then name=`getent passwd | grep $1 ... Will your users be able to create directories in /samba/test/ (this dir is group writable and owned by group mygroup?). Is it your intention that one user will be able to read/write/delete another user's files? ~ Daniel ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is the property of Time Inc. or its affiliates.

Your users don't have permission to run the scrippt /root/script, and/or
they don't have permission to run create files in /samba/test (or both).
You could just do:
public=no
preexec = mkdir /samba/test %U
or, if you don't want arbitrary users to create arbitrary directories in
/samba/test, rather do:
root preexec = mkdir /samba/test/%U && chown %U:%G /samba/test/%U
(it's a waste writing an external script for something that fits into
samba's 256 character limit on configuration entries ...).

Buchan
P.S. you should also consider using 'getent passwd $USER' instead of
'getent passwd|grep $USER', the former is faster, will only return one
entry, and won't return any incorrect entries ...
