cant able to edit files which are created in samba shared folder

raghoos666 · 09-29-2010, 01:38 AM

Dear all,

i have created an folder inside my redhat server. and i shared it via samba and mapped that shared folders inside 5 windows machine. now the problem i am facing is, if any one create a file in that mapped drive the other user cant edit that same file. but he can read it. only for files not folders.

i gave full permission to that folders and subfolders
and in smb file i gave readable writable browsable permissions.
and i disabled se linux and firewall

still its showing the same. its annoying me. please give me a solution for solving this.

for the user which creates the file having read write and excute. rest all having read only permission...may i know how to change that permission to read write and execute for all users accessing that folder.

i gave 777 permission to that shared folder and its subfolder.

ie # chmod -R 777 /data

use create mask directive for your samba share and check it.

i.e

Code:

[share]
path = /your/path
.....
....
create mask = 0775 <- this will allow write permission to owner and group

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[acc]"

[acc]
comment = Accounts files
path = /data/accounts
write list = akhil, sree
read only = No
create mask = 0777

Can you post the last 50 lines from the smb.conf file?

I am having the same problem. I have a create mask = 0777 and it does not work.

What I have read indicates that the create mask only works if you are copying files from a windows machine to the Samba shared folder and it does not work when copying files from another linux machine or Mac OS X.

This is exactly what is happening for me, if I copy files from windows, it properly sets the permissions, but if I copy from my mac it does not.

Can anybody verify that? and if that is the case provide a method to apply the desired permissions when copying from a mac or linux.

Thanks, below is my complete smb.conf file

[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/samba.%m
workgroup = AYC
server string = Samba Server Version %v

netbios name = AYC01
encrypt passwords = yes

#security = share
passdb backend = tdbsam

cups options = raw

wins support = yes

hide files = /.DS_Store/Thumbs.db/
#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[ayc]
comment = AYC File Server
path = /AYC01
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
valid users = +ayc
write list = +ayc
guest ok = no

# Permissions
#unix extensions = no
inherit permissions = yes
store dos attributes = yes
force group = ayc
create mask = 0777
force create mode = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
