[Samba] Permissions problem - I am in the proper group but still can't create files
I have a share created on my linux server. I can connect to it with the "administrator" user just fine. I need to be able to create files and directories with the administrator user, even in directories that are not owned by administrator. administrator is in the users group. Everything under the share is in the users group, and the group has write permission. So why can't administrator create files? If I chown the parent to administrator, then it works fine. But administrator is in the group, and the group has write permission. So why does it also have to be owned by administrator? I don't have this issue on all my other linux servers, just this new one (CentOS 5.2). Here is the folder I'm trying to create a file in: drwxrwxr-x 2 root users 4096 Jan 28 11:10 foo Here is the line from /etc/group: users:x:100:rps,administrator,root And here is my samba share: [websites] comment = /home/WWW-data path = /home/WWW-data read only = no valid users = rps administrator create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 force user = administrator force group = nobody Thanks for any help. -Ryan

Since the "nobody" group does not have write permissions on your share, your authenticated user does not have write permissions. Try changing "force group" from "nobody" to "users" or simply removing the line (which might or might not work - I'm not sure). -Kyle
