SMB Configuration
Hello,
I am having trouble with my SMB server that is causing pain to my users and in turn giving me heartburn. To the problem - I have a server which is set up in a completely insecure manor and we are totally okay with it. We want to be able to have everyone in the building be able to access a certain directory and all have rwx rights to all files in the share. When I set up the share it works for about a week and then I start getting reports from users that documents are read only for everyone except for the person who created it. Is there some sort of security script that runs once a week that would cause this? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Todd Distro - Mandriva 2008.0 Kernel - 2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv smb.conf as follows [global] workgroup = MDKGROUP server string = Samba Server %v printcap name = cups load printers = yes printcap cache time = 60 printing = cups log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 map to guest = bad user security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd dns proxy = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes create mode = 0700 print command = lpr-cups -P %p -o raw %s -r # using client side printer drivers. use client driver = yes [print$] path = /var/lib/samba/printers browseable = yes write list = @adm root guest ok = yes inherit permissions = yes [Shared] path = /home/share/files/shared comment = Shared browseable = yes public = yes writable = yes inherit permissions = no |
Have you tried
directory mode = 777 create mode = 777 And made sure that /home/share/files/shared is 777 ? |

Thanks for your quick response. |
Under shared. I'd use both - I'm note quite sure what will happen is a user creates a directory under shared otherwise.

Great thanks, I've already added the two lines and restarted smb. Unfortunately we are heading into a 4 day weekend here in the states so I won't be able to report to you of my success or failure until late next week. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me.

Also,
add the following line: force create mode = 0777, if the previous 2 lines are not working. |
Did you give write and owner rights to /home/share/files/shared directory?
For example if owner and group is root, they can not access this directory. I set the group to mail, bc all local users are in mail group. Don't forget to set write permission to group. All the bests, Cib |
