file rights changed?

monc · 11-18-2003, 02:47 AM

Hello,

We have a group called admin if someone changes a office file and saves i t to the server the rights chnages from rwxrwx--- to rwxrw-r-- so other members of the group can't overwrite the file anymore.

I hope someone can help me with this problem?

I don't understand the problem? Is it because the permissions change thats the problem or is it that you want to know how to change the permissions?

This is a samba server? A little more info in that department would probably help.

It is a samba server. The workstations are windows 2000 en windows NT4

I want to know how i can configure the way users make a new file or directory. The problem is that if a users saves a file or directory to the server the rights changes from rwxrwx--- to rwxrw-r--.

So if a user makes a new file or directory i want automatically that the new file or directoy that the user made has the rights of rwxrwx---.

Actually the file is still writable by the user, group and other. The group doesn't have execute permission is what has changed.
rwxrwx--- to rwxrw-r-- r=read w=write x=execute user,group,other.

Quote:

From Samba Documentation
force create mode (S)

This parameter specifies a set of UNIX mode bit permissions that will always be set on a file created by Samba. This is done by bitwise 'OR'ing these bits onto the mode bits of a file that is being created or having its permissions changed. The default for this parameter is (in octal) 000. The modes in this parameter are bitwise 'OR'ed onto the file mode after the mask set in the create mask parameter is applied.

See also the parameter create mask for details on masking mode bits on files.

See also the inherit permissions parameter.

Default: force create mode = 000

Example: force create mode = 0755

would force all created files to have read and execute permissions set for 'group' and 'other' as well as the read/write/execute bits set for the 'user'.

Heres an example of what it would look like in /etc/samba/smb.conf for your rwxrwx--- permissions.

Code:

[homes]
        comment = Admin Group Home Directory
        path = /home/admin
        read only = No
        force create mode = 0770

I wrote this a 9:00PM. I will submit it as soon as LQ comes back online.
