I am running Fedora Core4 with Samba 3.0.14a-2 SELinux and firewall. Home directories are working fine from windows2000 machine but I am struggling with access permissions on an intended public folder(Music). I really want everyone to have read/write access to the directory and all subdirectories but cannot get it to work. I have tried various permissions on the directory itself including setting userid and group both to atomlin, 0777, sticky on and off. In my smb.conf file (see below) I have tried various options none of which worked. The directory itself was originally created by root. I have verified that when logged in to the linux box as atomlin I can create and delete directories so linux filesystem permissions seem ok, I just cannot do it through samba. I am sure I am just doing something stupid, and if someone can point it out I can get my music box up and running (slimserver with squeezebox2) eg [Music-example1] path = /usr/Music writeable = yes guest ok = yes comment = Flac music files browseable = yes [Music-example2] path = /usr/Music writeable = yes guest ok = yes public = yes comment = Flac music files browseable = yes Current smb.conf----------------- [global] workgroup = Home server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 192.168. 127. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = eth1 domain master = yes preferred master = yes dns proxy = no #============================ Share Definitions ============================= idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no printable = yes [Music] path = /usr/Music writeable = yes ; guest ok = yes comment = Flac music files browseable = yes force user = atomlin force group = atomlin create mask = 0777 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
