Samba

anilnatha · 07-02-2003, 04:49 PM

I've setup samba successfully and I am able to access those shares from my Win/2000 machine.

However in my smb.conf file I've included:

Create Mask 0775
Directory Mask 0775

for each of my shares.

However, whenever I create a new directory or file, it doesn't set them to match what i've specified in the Create Mask and Directory Mask line in my smb.conf file

Am I missing something?

I'm running Red Hat 9.0, Samba 2.2

Add the following settings to the relevant share in your smb.conf

force user = reqd-user
force group = reqd-group

Replace the reqd-user and reqd-group to match your requirements. This will force samba to set the owner and group settings to a certain user of group. The create mask and directory mask settings will then set the permissions for the user and group specified.

Good Luck,

Is it like this?

Code:

	create mask = 0777
	directory mask = 0777
	force user = subaruwrx
	force group = subaruwrx

The folder permission was correct but the file permission is 766

P.S Whats the difference between create mode and create mask?

Hi,

I was having similar issues that you had, so what I did use the 'force create mode' directives. Here's a copy of my smb.conf:

[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
os level = 2
hosts allow = 192.168.0.
time server = Yes
unix extensions = Yes
encrypt passwords = yes
map to guest = Bad User
printing = CUPS
printcap name = CUPS
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
wins support = No
veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/
security = user
server string = Samba Server
add user script =
domain master = false
domain logons = no
local master = no
preferred master = auto
;; ldap server = 127.0.0.1
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
browseable = no
read only = No
force create mode = 0755
force directory mode = 0755
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755
guest ok = no
printable = no
path = /home
[sandbox, web]
comment = The Webs Sandbox
path = /srv/www/htdocs
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
printable = no
available = yes
force create mode = 0755
force directory mode = 0755
force user = ken
force group = webprog
create mask = 0755
read only = no

Also notice, the order in which I use the force options is different from yours. Hope this helps.
