samba - Mar 2011 - new created files belong to root instead samba user

Hi List,

i just noticed, that files that are created by any samba user who is in the
"admin users" list, belong to root in the unix filesystem. This is not
what i want. Are there any other options to allow sb. else than the fileowner to
change file permissions (via samba connection)?

Are you using force user or force group in your smb.conf?

man smb.conf
admin users - This is a list of users who will be granted
administrative privileges on the share. This means that they will do
all file operations as the super-user (root).

I run several samba servers and none use an "admin users" list.
Rights/privileges, file permissions, acls, share permissions, etc. can
avoid the need to use "admin users".

Hi Chris,

thanks for your reply.

actually i have problems setting (and viewing) permissions via windows explorer.
although i use "admin users" is is not possible to view the
permissions in general - setting permissions works in some cases (in other cases
a error message about wrong parameters shows up).

Are you able to view and modify permissions via windows explorer and could you
give me i a hint how i can get this working (without "admin users")?

Best regards

Depending on your samba version you can try
nt acl support =yes for your share or global
Google for  setfacl and getfacl.
OR vfs objects = acl_xattr

Luckily working with the advanced settings dialogs seems to be working now.

I wonder why the advanced settings dialog works, but permissions are not
properly displayed on the security settings tab - is this normal?
