Apply permission on samba shared folder on M$ Windows 2000
HI All,
I have a Redhat 7.2 runing samba 2.2 and configured samba to share folders. The folders is accessable by everyone (no permission set). The W2K servers will map a network driver while it startup (before user login) from samba shares. For example: if I have a samba share called "temp" and I then access this share from a windows 2000 server. Can I then go to the properties of this folder, click on the security tab and then add or remove users or groups from the NT domain that can have access that folder "temp". I encountered that if I try do this I can add users or groups from our domain (NT users) and specify what access each should have ie: read only or full control, but when I click on the "OK" or "Apply" button to apply these changes I get an error saying "Unable to save permission changes on folder. Access is denied" or the added user name is disappear. I have some W2K servers (different workgroup)need to add the permission on the same samba shared folder "temp" Is it something that I need to do at samba server? How can I apply permission. |

First you need add your domain users on Linux...and then you can set permission on the linux machine.You can,t modify the Linux shares permission on another Box. post your smb.conf file and I'll help more... |

For example .... users called tim and john can belong to a group called Executive.....and the second group with less priviledges called employees(Jane and Steve)
--------------------------------------------------- To make Executive group to have complete control over the "Temp" folder do this : [Temp] path = /home/share comment = Temp writable = yes write list = @Executive Public = yes ---> this way people in Executive goup will have write access over the folder.Alsoo make sure tim and john have write access to /home/share. You can also make all users to have read/write access.Just set the permissions to chmod 0777 /home/share -Ask if there's more you wanna ask... |
Hi,
Thanks for your help! It seems that I can't set the permission like that. It is because that some of Windows 2000 application will use the samba shared folder to write/read data (never using any userID to access the "Temp"). The applicaiton can't access the shared folder if I set read/write group on samba. If I can't set permission on that folder "Temp" from Windows 2000. Can I set the deny access on the samba configure file. I tried to set "invalid users = test" on the shared folder "Temp" (The user "test with same ID and password between W2K and Linux box/samba user), but it seems doesn't work with this. That user still can access the folder with read/write permission from W2k. Any idea?! THANKS |
