Hi,
I'm sorry, if this has been asked a 1000 times, but I've been going
through the docs and using google for the past 2 hours and everything
I have tried seems to fail.
I've decided to give samba a go at file serving, as nfs is proving to
be not that reliable., and I would also like to be able to access
certain files on my windows machines.
I'm currently running the following:
Samba 3.0.10-1 on Debian Sarge.
I have created a share on my server (same subnet), and can
successfully mount it, using as the required login user, by passing
the a valid users gid and uid settings through with the mount command
(otherwise all files are owned as root/root).
And I can create and delete all files owned by this user, except I'm
unable to change any permissions on any files or directories owned by
me, I've tried multiple options for the share on umask, create and
force create settings (these have been altered to stop stop windows
from creating executable text files and to give all users rw access
in the group users (which is my default group).
Below is the share section from my smb.conf.
[networkShares]
path = /exports/networkShares
comment = Network Shares
browseable = yes
public = yes
printable = no
writable = yes
delete readonly = yes
hide dot files = no
case sensitive = yes
force group = users
valid users = mark
directory mode = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
create mode = 0664
force create mode = 0664
oplocks = False
level2oplocks = False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mark
