Question Could someone double check my plan?


I just got my samba server up and running on Red Hat ES.
My plan is to have a share named “company” where all users on the network can save, open, and delete files from Windows.

Here is my plan (I keep using the word plan cuz I just want to say "I love it when a plan comes together" when I get this thing going).

I want to create the company directory, then run the following command:

chmod -R 777 /home/company

In smb.conf I want to add the following:
[company]
comment = company share
path = /home/company
force create mode = 0664
force directory mode = 0775
or should I use:
inherit permissions = Yes

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Just for the sake of some security, I'd suggest 0660 and 0770 or 0664 and 0774 and then add everyone to a group that owns the folder. Better yet, you can add setgid on the folder and Linux will do most of that for you along with making sure all new files get the group's ownership:

chmod g+srwx /home/company
