thanks for suggestion, in other words you use only ACLs for users denying all for groups, unfortunately we had many group such as domain users, secretary, finance, etc belonging to users for which we need to apply at least 770 in order to gain a simplified permission management using groups the actual dirty workaround I applied was to track new files/dir by tailing with follow ( tail -f ) a

Hello everybody, I have a server with CentOS 6.5 (kernel version 2.6.32-431.5.1.el6.x86_64) and Samba version 4.2.0pre1-GIT-4daf7d4. I am using this server as a PDC and so far everything is working quite alright. However, I have a problem with permissions of files I want to share. Mostly it is working well. Samba respects group memberships, including supplementary groups, ownership, etc. The

Hi List, The Samba Howto Collection http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/AccessControls.html#id2611229 says: "When the set user or group ID bit (s) is set on a directory, then all files created within it will be owned by the user and/or group whose `set user or group' bit is set.

I've got seven Linux boxes, and three NT boxes, all that have to be mounted via smbmount for a backup that we run through one of the Linux machines ("SPEEDY") via BRU. While Speedy has no problem keeping the mounts for all the Linux machines, the mounts for NT machines will timeout after a short period. I run a "df" and get an Input/Output error on all the NT machines. I

I am working on my permissions and something does not quite make sense to me. Here is what I have set. /DIR (Unix permissions are 3777) Then in samba I have the following [dir] path = /DIR read only = no valid users @teach @student create mask 3660 directory mask 3770 Then from a windows workstation, I create a new directory inside 'dir', and call it 'teach'.

Hi Group, I set up samba3.0 to work as ADS-Member-Server. I created a share called /test and chown group to gg_test to it. Access to share works without any problems. I also can add files and directories to this share. When I now make ln -l, the files I added got the group-permissions "Domain Users" and not gg_test, as I expected. Do someone know a solution? Thanks in advance.

We have a Red Hat 7.3 file server that serves about 30 Windows PCs via Samba 2.2.3a. I have one group called "users" that everyone is in but when a file is created by a PC, the group ownership on the created file is not "users", but the same as the file owner name. Is there any way to force the group ownership of created files? Also, is there any way to force file

Hi Vincent, have you found a solution that makes "force directory mode = 2770" able to apply to new created folders ?

Hello All, Got a little problem that I'm hoping somebody can help me solve. I've got a samba server set as the office's file server. We have a large common share that different people put documents in, and are to be modified by other people.

Hi, Is it possible with samba to enforce the inheritance of group ownership on a per-directory basis, for files moved without copying? My situation is as follows: directory 'a' has permissions: 2770 (drwxrws---) and has owner = 'root' group = 'a' directory 'b' has permissions: 2770 (drwxrws---) and has owner = 'root' group = 'b' As per

All, Could someone explain the purpose of the uidswap functions with respect to ssh ( the client ).
