Samba connections

DanyUP · 10-24-2005, 12:22 PM

I'm trying to connect my linux laptop with a mac os x computer using samba.
I succeed in mounting the share, but when I try to look into the mounted dir as normal user I see that Desktop, Documents and many other folders are "locked" and i can't open them.

When I see into Desktop's properties I see that the owner is the uid of the mac's user that isn't the same as linux's.
How can I access these folders without changing my dear username?

smb.conf has the options "force user" & "force group"
Set these to the user & group who own the directories being shared.

Regardless who authenticates, they access as that user/group.

See man smb.conf
