samba: mount-folder in client gives only root permissions after mounting
 

Hello!

I use samba as a fileserver, but with my Linux clients I have a permission problem:
The files in the server have 777 and also in the client they show 777-permissions and I want 777 (or at least 774/775), but I cannot change them because the mount-folder changes in 755 as soon as I mount while before mounting the mount folder had 777.... :confused:

I mount with the cmd (as root):
mount -t smbfs //192.168.3.2/share /home/marcel/share -o username=marcel

my smb.conf is:
[global]
workgroup = test
netbios name = SAMBASERVIDOR
server string = My Lil Linux Box
hosts allow = 192.168. 127.
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
log level = 2
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks
os level = 64

[homes]
comment = home
browseable = no
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777

[share]
path = /home/share
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
locking = yes
public=yes


Can anyone help me out on this one??

Thanks!!

Re: samba: mount-folder in client gives only root permissions after mounting
 

If your folder share belongs to root try changing the owner of the folder to marcel

yes, I already tried that one, but whatever owner i give the folder in the server, as soon as i mount (mount -t smbfs //192.168.3.2/share /home/marcel/share -o username=marcel in the terminal ) on a client the owner and group is set to root...
anyone?

Try to specify the uid and gid options which will set ownership when you mount the shares. So instead of this:
mount -t smbfs //192.168.3.2/share /home/marcel/share -o username=marcel

Try this:
mount -t smbfs //192.168.3.2/share /home/marcel/share -o username=marcel,uid=linuxUserName,gid=linuxGroupName
