Samba Permissions - RWX for all Users
 

I have an FEDORA 3 box sharing out a mounted secondary 60GB drive at /mnt/share and would like to give everyone on my LAN RWX permissions to the root level directory (Share) and everything 'below' it.

I've created a user with:

useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -u 123 samba

and I'm mounting the drive with :

/dev/hdd1 /mnt/test vfat auto,rw,uid=123 0 0

and the snipped /etc/samba/smb.conf file has:
[global]
.......
guest account = samba
.......

[share]
path = /mnt/share
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
valid users = nobody, samba
public = yes
create mask = 0777

but my users can not write to /mnt/share/Share or any of the sub-directories. They can browse and open the files and folders however.

chmod /mnt/share 777 leaves my ls -l /mnt/share listing as......
drwxr-xr-x

Can someone offer any advice? I'm aware of the security 'problems' with wide open drives and for the moment....I'm okay with that.

Thank you in advance......

How about chaging the [share] like this:

[shared]
path = /mnt/win/shared
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
create mode = 0666
directory mode = 0777
browseable = yes
public = yes

i. e. add a "create mode" line? This works fine for me on my Rh9 system in allowing all users on my LAN to read and write to /mnt/win/shared...

Thanks rylan76:

Will those chagnes to the smb.conf file automatically change the RWX permissions on all the sub-directories in the /mnt/share directory once restarting samba ?
