similar to: Very slow changing permissions from Windows client

We are running a fileserver (Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.9) on CentOS 4.4. No AD, clients are Windows XP and OS X. Linux acl's are used for access to directories and files. Each top-level folder belongs to a primary group with mode 2770. The acl's restrict access to lower level directories. We need to pass the acl's down the directory tree or else users may have unexpected access to

Here's the situation: We have users who are members of groups and those groups are sometimes members of a 2nd level of groups. If a folder has permissions assigned to a 2nd level group, then the user can not access the share. Doing a "getent group | grep user | grep 2nd_level_group" also returns nothing. Samba seems to not be recognizing that a user is a member of a group under

I have a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain and I need to create a group policy to assign an msi install to a computer. This has always worked fine on a Windows share, but now the install fails after moving to a Samba file server. I'm guessing it's some sort of permissions issue. Does anyone know how to make this work? James Dinkel Network Engineer Butler County of Kansas

I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20 version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want automatic updates for bugfixes and

I imagine we can save some space on our file server by cleaning up all the files that are saved multiple times by different people. There is already the fdupes command in linux that will scan a directory tree and report what files have duplicates. This could be easily scripted to turn those duplicate files into symlinks to one file. The problem is see, then, is what would happen if someone

hello I'm having the following problem: On a share I have a user with read-only access to word files. Another user has read-write access to these files. When the user with read-only access opens a word file and then the user with read-write access to these files opens the file, the read-write user has only read-only access. If the read-write user opens the word file first, then he has

One computer will show the previous versions of files just fine, but every other computer I've installed the Microsoft Shadow Copy Client on will not show any previous versions. The Previous Versions tab is just blank. In the samba log, I get this: [2006/11/28 12:02:02, 0] modules/vfs_shadow_copy.c:shadow_copy_opendir(81) shadow_copy_opendir: SMB_VFS_NEXT_OPENDIR() failed for

Hi folks. Just wondering if I can change the ownership on the nginx logs folder so I can access them easier for analysis on a regular basis and cronjobs. /var/log/nginx is owned by nginx:nginx which shuts me out. Cheers, Bee

Hello, How do I reset default folder permissions? For instance I have the following in my smb.conf [share] path = /srv/samba/share read only = no Now lets say I have modified ACL's and I just need to start clean as if I just created the folder for the first time(mkdir -p /srv/samba/share). I have tried the following without luck. setfacl -b /srv/samba/share chown root:root

Is there some way I can manually change the gid of one of these? The group1 is a new group that I just set up btw. James Dinkel

I have a group of users (content editors) who need read-write access to apache document root. The apache web server is running as user:apache and group:apache. The filesystem permissions are currently set as apache:apache. How should I modify filesystem permission so that content editors can have read-write permissions and webserver can serve files as well? Following is what I have setup now, but

What is the difference between Heimdal and MIT as far usability goes? MIT seems to be the default on major linux distrobutions, but I here a lot about people preferring Heimdal, but I can't find any reasons why. Is one generally more stable/faster/reliable than the other? There is already a blank wiki page at http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Kerberos so if anyone has any good
