[Samba] Problems with 'create mask' and 'security mask' in SAMBA configuration
Hi guys, I am mounting the homes of my users via samba. Both server and clients are linux boxes running Debian Sarge. My samba package (server and smbfs) are 3.0.14a-3. What I would like to do should basically result of: directory mask = 0700 force directory mode = 0 directory security mask = 0777 force directory security mode = 0 create mask = 0600 force create mode = 0 security mask = 0777 force security mode = 0 i.e. user files and dirs are created 0600/0700 but they can change whatever permissions they like. But I can't get this to work the way it should. I read the samba how-to (samba.org -> Official How To -> III. -> Chapter 15 -> "Interaction with the Standard Samba 'create mask' Parameters") carefully! Can anyone see what I am doing wrong or knows of a bug that would be the cause of my problems? My smb.conf is: ---8<--- [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no # By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change next # parameter to 'yes' if you want to be able to write to them. writable = yes # File creation mask is set to 0600 for security reasons. If you want to # create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775. create mask = 0600 force create mode = 0 security mask = 0777 force security mode = 0 # Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to # create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775. directory mask = 0700 force directory mode = 0 directory security mask = 0777 force directory security mode = 0 --->8--- Using the above configuration i try: amadeu@kelvin:~$ touch TEST amadeu@kelvin:~$ ls -l TEST -rw------- 1 amadeu users 0 2005-10-21 09:47 TEST amadeu@kelvin:~$ chmod 777 TEST amadeu@kelvin:~$ ls -l TEST -rw------- 1 amadeu users 0 2005-10-21 09:47 TEST I've the same problem with directories. Additionaly, I tried change the parameters of 'create mask', 'security mask' and force's options, but nothing worked :-( Your help is much apreciated! -- |> Amadeu Jr. :: Science Computer Student - Federal University of Bahia / Brazil |> Mensagem :: "A desobedi?ncia ? uma virtude necess?ria ? criatividade"
