Ok, I've got a samba share on a linux server, connecting to it with a windows 2k3 server via tools > map network drive. The goal is to be able to use windows to change the security of the samba share. The good news is it works! The bad news is it's not QUITE perfect:
The share is called /company. I started with the following to give everyone access to everything, set the owner of the share to administrator (my domain admin on the Windows domain), and set the group owner to domain users (group that everyone on the domain is part of):
Code:
chmod -R 777 /company
chown -R administrator /company
chgrp -R domain users /company
I then mapped the drive as a regular user, and of course, can access/modify/delete/rename/create anything I want. Then I picked a folder to lock down. Let's call it /company/myFolder. I did this on the Windows server by mapping the drive as administrator (the owner), right click > properties > security tab > advanced > highlight "domain users" and "everyone" and click edit > clear all (i.e. remove all access). Go back to Linux and
Code:
ls -la /company | grep myFolder
shows that the permissions on unix are now
drwx------. Perfect!
I go back to the drive mapped as a regular user, try to get into company/myFolder and...............access is denied. Perfect again!
The only issue that remains is that I am able to rename/delete "myFolder" as a regular user. I thought this was coming from the "acl map full control = true" parameter in smb.conf, but I changed it to false and verified the change and it still happens. If I remove group and world write access to /company, I am no longer allowed to rename/delete myFolder, but then I can't create a new folder. If I add group write access back in I can create files but can also rename/delete folders within /company that have --- specified for group access.
Any ideas what I need to tweak to make this right?
Thanks!!
