Hello! Sorry if already discussed, but I can't find. I have two shares pointing to one directory on server. One of this ([share]) shares in read only. If I open file on this share it appears in smbstatus -L output like 28303 1001 DENY_WRITE 0x20089 RDONLY NONE /path TST/???????? Microsoft Word.doc Mon Mar 26 15:11:10 2012 Then if I try to open this file from second share ([share-rw]), I have read only access. Is this normal behavior for samba to set DENY_WRITE on read only share? Is it possible to change it? I use following configuration: [global] wins support = Yes domain master = Yes local master = Yes prefered master = Yes os level = 255 workgroup = STUDIO netbios name = SERVER server string = main server security = share unix extensions = no load printers = no hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0, ALL hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/27, 192.168.1.32/27, 127.0.0.0/8 interfaces = eth0, lo bind interfaces only = Yes oplocks = true kernel oplocks = true create mask = 0740 directory mask = 0750 [share] read only = Yes oplocks = No level2 oplocks = No share modes = No locking = No path = /path/ guest ok = Yes force user = sambauser force group = users hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0, ALL hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/27, 192.168.1.32/27, 127.0.0.0/8 [share-rw] read only = No path = /path/ guest ok = No valid users = shareuser force user = sambauser force group = users hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0, ALL hosts allow = 192.168.1.0/27, 192.168.1.32/27, 127.0.0.0/8 Thanks.
