Hi knowledgeable samba users, I had to upgrade from samba 2.2.0 on a suse linux server (7.2). Server died after two 2+ years of loyal services - otherwise I would not have changed... Now I have a samba 3.0.9-2.6 on suse 9.1. I can access the files only r-x, i.e. all files appear as read only. Trying to trouble shoot I have: - chmod-ed all the files of all the shares to 777 - in swat put the masks to 777 in the "global section" - in swat put the masks to 777 in all the shares It is a home office environment where I access the SMB server from XP and W2K stations. Is there anywhere else I should look at? thanks in advance, Dominique __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.

Are the owner of the home directories the one you would expect, i.e. does the user xyz own the directory /home/xyz: ls -ld /home/xyz (replace xyz with some real owners). What does the command testparm write?

Thanks Mogens for your response:
My answers below.
Have you moved the files and users from the old server?
==> no I transferred the physical disk. Normally the users are transferred
too but this machine is just used as a server for my business and family data
and I don't use it very much locally. Not only the homes are to be exported
but also 3 disks /data1 to 3.
Are the owner of the home directories the one you would expect, i.e.
does the user xyz own the directory /home/xyz:
ls -ld /home/xyz
(replace xyz with some real owners).
==> the ownership of the /data1 /data2 /data3 and home/xxx directories is to
root root
that might be it?
How do I change it (sorry newcomer's question) I know there is chown and
chgrp but how do you apply them in this case?
What does the command testparm write?
==> testparm output below (thanks for reminding me, I haven't touched
samba for 2 yrs...)
How come that the permission masks are not set to all 0777 as I supposedly
changed them from swat? swat does not seem very reliable???

How many users do you actually have? Do you have any files under /home/user1, /home/user2, etc. for these users? If the owner of these files are not set correctly, you should find the uid and gid in the /etc/passwd file for these users and do a: chown -R uid1.gid1 /home/user1 I guess that swat has changed the global settings for create and directory mask, but you still have to change the settings for the [homes] section.
