Samba 3.0.8 And DOS File Attributes?

batterseapower · 12-13-2004, 01:38 PM

Hi!

I'm trying to set up Samba for a network full of Windows boxes so that it honours DOS file attributes (hidden, archive etc etc). Now, I've done a LOT of searching, and thats led to me adding the following lines smb.conf in global:

Code:

map acl inherit = yes
map archive= no
map hidden = no
map system = no
store dos attributes = yes

And the following in the share:

Code:

dos filemode = yes
dos filetimes = yes

If I've got this right, that SHOULD let me change DOS attributes by storing even if I'm not the owner of the file by storing them in an extended attribute (yes they are in the kernel).

BUT, this dosen't work. If I try and change the property with Explorer, it tells me "Access is denied". What have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Check the Security modes in smb.conf
create mask, force security mode etc...

I don't think there are any security settings which are causing problems.. I'm using ACLs, and I can write files to the directory as the user that I am trying to modify the file attributes with, which leads me to think it's not to do with security especially.
