Dear all,

This is regarding samba and its mount on other machine, please guide me if iam posting my thread in a wrong category,

I have created a samba share and mounted the share with /etc/fstab on another machine. This share is supposed to be a fully public share i.e. i have different share where different permissions are set but on this particular share i intend to have full read write and execute rights to all the users on my mounting machine.

The problem is that I get only owner and group rights for write on directories that i create due to which all my users can create files in my mount directory but when they create a folder they cannot create any file inside that folder.

can any one give any Idea where I am going wrong

Thanks in advance

can you post the fstab entry for the share?

Samba Share Details :
my samba server ip is 192.168.1.104
and share name is vol7
I have created one user in name of ofguest
I have changed user and group ownership of vol7 to ofguest (Recursively -R)
I have set 777 permission (Recursively -R) for vol7


Mount Point details
My Linux machine IP is 192.168.1.106
my mount point is /mnt/vol7
and my fstab entry is :
//192.168.1.104/vol7 /mnt/vol7 cifs rw,password=

Thanks in advance for any help

from my opinion , maybe you should check smb.conf in /etc/samba. There is a detail about your samba setting, security, and else.


Regards

and try this fstab entry: //192.168.1.104/vol7 /mnt/vol7 cifs defaults,rw,umask=777,password=
