All,
I searched archives and found one related to our problem, with
subject "samba 3.0.26a and dropboxes", but there was no solution. So
posting this again for hopes of a fix.
We have dropboxes where users can drop files in someone else's
dropbox folder. You have write permissions but not read for the folder.
In UNIX the dropbox permision is set as 2733. This all worked fine with
Samba 3.0.6a. But now have upgraded to Samba 3.0.28 and
they are no longer working.
My settings for the share is:
[ens]
comment = ENS Groups
path = /top/admin/ENS
valid users = +admin
force group = admin
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 02770
inherit permissions = Yes
inherit acls = Yes
inherit owner = Yes
dos filemode = Yes
This is on Solaris 9 UFS filesystem with quotas enabled.
Thanks...

There is no "writable" option in Swat that I can see even with Advance mode. The shares work fine otherwise, just not to our dropbox folders that have the permissions of 2733. Get "access denied" error when you try and copy a file or drag and drop a file onto the dropbox folder.

Maybe a fix (possibly that mentioned for BUG 4978) requires some changes in your setup. -- Chris

I have a patch for this somewhere - I'll try to dig it up in the new year. -- James Peach | jorgar@gmail.com
