> The way I deal with this is to use SetGID. The way this works is that you set the setgid bit on a directory, and any file or directory created under it inherits it's group, rather than the primary group of the process creating it. Directories created under this directory also inherit the SetGID bit. This means that if you have one share, with all the top level directories in it.

You can do the later in (most?) Unixes by turning on setgid for the directory (ie. you don't do it within

I have run into a problem recently which is driving me crazy. :) Our current setup is as follows: FreeBSD 2.2.8 server running Samba 2.0.5a The Samba server auths against an NT 4.0 Server (SP5). Certain NT machines in our network (NT 4.0 Server SP4), have problems accessing shares on the samba server. After a clean boot, they will be able to successfully access the shares for about 1/2 hour,

I am setting up samba as a print server on a FreeBSD machine. I would like the users to be able to control the print queue by using the Pause option in Windows NT. It seems that I have a permission problem doing this though. -- Portion of smb.conf -- [global] lpq command = /usr/bin/lpq -P%p lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j queuepause command =

hi all... i have what seems a simple question regarding subshares, for lack of a better term... say i have a share with specific user/group permissions and a directory inside the share that i would like to add different user/group permissions... this is an example of my smb.conf file to illustrate [driveA] path = /samba/driveA browseable = Yes writeable = Yes valid users = PDC+groupA force group

I have set up several shares which our staff will have access to. They are central repositories where we will be storing things like documents and drivers, etc. I would like to allow staff to add items into the shares, but to now be able to remove anything (Except maybe what they put in..) I have created a share called drivers: [drivers] comment = General Hardware

Hello, I ran into a problem the other day where our NT PDC and BDCs starting flaking out. They all thought that there was another PDC on the network and so would not promote. After several hours of fighting with the NT servers, we checked a change that had been made to our smb.conf on our fileserver. Namely, the addition of "domain logons = yes". My understanding was that this

Hi, We would like to aggregate departmental servers on to a single samba share called "departments" and under departments would be a set of folders corresponding to the departments. Permissions need to be controlled by group memberships in active directory. When I go into folder properties on an XP with the departments share mounted, under the security tab I see Administrators,

I am in the process of planning for a samba upgrade. The current version of Samba (2.2.8a) runs on a Sunfire 280R with Solaris 8. The intended new platform is a sunfire V240 with Solaris 9 as the OS. The new version of Samba will be Samba-3.0.10. Please note that the Samba server will be a member of a domain. I've read Samba-3 by Example, Chapter 8 which describes to the process of updating

Hi! I am experiencing problems adding a user (e.g. smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group on my samba-PDC using the ldapsam backend. When I add "Domain Admins" as a supplementary group, the Windows 2000 client doesn't treat smbadmin as an admin. However, using "Domain Admins" as the primary group (including setting sambaPrimaryGroupSID as

Problem number one: ------------------- I'm running a few-hours-old CVS version of Samba 3.0 with LDAP as the authentication backend, and I'm having some problems trying to set up the LDAP accounts using "smbpasswd". I build the structure of the LDAP database by importing a couple of LDIF's, and then I import the following user account to create an administrative account

Hello list, I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS samba server to 10.04 LTS which took the installed version of samba from version 3.0.28a to version 3.4.7. The server is an AD member using idmap-rid. I have updated the idmap directives in the config and it mostly worked (winbind works, Windows users can get to their shares with their correct permissions, etc.). The only thing that got

Hello all, I repost this mail with a new subject line because on the original one ("Unable to join domain from WNT4") i've got no respnse. version is 3.0.23d (the same happens with 3.0.21c ) running as a PDC OS: Linux 2.6.11.4-21.14-smp, (from SuSE 9.3) on dual Opterons. After upgrading from 3.0.11 to 3.0.23d, all Windows-NT4-sp6 machines were no longer DOMAIN-members - WinXP or

Hi - I'm having trouble trying to get "Point'n'Print" working. I (think I?) have set it up as per the HOW-TOs but here's what happens... I login as "root" in the "MAXP" domain to the client (gservxp). I use "Network Neighbourhood" to navigate to the server (lambada). I then open up "Printers and Faxes" - just for info, the Add

When I try to logon to my windows XP box I get the following error message from windows: Windows did not load your roaming profile and is attempting to log you on with your local profile. Changes to the profile will not be copied to the server when you logoff. Windows did not load your profile because a server copy of the profile folder already exists that does not have the correct security.

I have an [apps] share that was intended to be read-only (to keep viruses away) however some Windows programs require rw access to specific files. I don't want to open-up everything on the share to rw, only those specific files/directories that need 'w' access. Here's the dilemma: In order for users to be able to change a file, the file and directory it's in need to have rw

Mats, After a couple hours of reading and trial and error, this is what I got to work for me. [username] path = /home/USERS/username writable = yes comment = User File Storage valid users = DOMIAN+username create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 browseable = no Then on the directory structure it self I had to run a 'chown -R

After reading through the documentation, I realized that as a part of the migration process from Samba-2.2.X to Samba-3.0.0 I needed to convert everyone in my smbadmin group (previously domain admin group = @smbadmin) to the "Domain Admins" group w/rid=512. So, I issued the following command: [root@localhost profile]# net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Admins"

Hello, On Debian 9 (stretch prerelease) I am able to mount with the following command with root using the following command: mount -t cifs //smb.physics.wisc.edu/smb /smb -osec=krb5,multiuser,username=smbadmin at PHYSICS.WISC.EDU --verbose root can also access files as expected However, when cifs-utils 6.6-5 is installed, a different user cannot access as expected: ls /smb ls: cannot

Hi! I'm experiencing strange performance problems after upgrading to samba 3.2.8 from 3.0.30. For all users except smbadmin (who has administrative rights), read performance is _very_ bad. Looking at the read-requests using filemon and wireshark, I found out that for those users, every read is handled transparently (unbuffered) over the net. (I.e. a 2 byte read-request of the application
