samba - Nov 2008 - shared spaces

Hello,

I created a shared space and here is the definition in smb.conf

comment = shared space
path = /local/sharedspace
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
valid users = x, y, z, w
write list = x, y, z, w
create mode = 0775

Everybody can create folders or get/put files on the top level. Everyone 
can read in folders created by an other. It appears that folders created 
by a client belongs to this client on the server and thus writing in 
this folder is forbidden for others.

Does a parameter exist to permit to write files in folders created by an 
other.

Regards

As far as I understood, samba just reuses the acess rights  given by the
Windows-Client when the directory is created. However, these access 
rights are logically "and"-ed with the parameter "directory
mask", which
defaults to 755 - so: only the owner has write access.

directory mask = 775

should solve your problem.
More stronger is "force directory mode", which simply ignores the
access
rights proposed by the windows client.

HTH,
