Samba - permission problem on multiple user share

timmywo · 08-06-2005, 02:50 PM

Hi everyone,

I have a secured share setup as followed...

Code:

security = share
[Private]
comment = Private Share
path = /home/office-data/private
valid users = nomer
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no

...as you can see the two users office-user and nomer have access to the share.

On the Linux box (CentOS 4) I have set “/home/office-data/private” to have full access to everyone (chmod 777).

The problem is that if one of the user’s creates a new file in the “private” folder the other user can delete it but not edit the file. Now, if one of the users creates a sub folder in the private folder with files, the other user cannot delete or edit them files. All files when created by either user have the permission set to 0744/-rwxr--r--.

How can I get this so that when either of the two users creates a file that file or folder has 777 as default permissions? I have had a good look around and could only find one other person who has had this problem - but no answer was provided.

I appreciate anyone who could help me.

Thanks,
Tim

I believe you can fix that by adding this to your conf file.

create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775

This should set permissions for anyone in the group to RWX.
This way by default the permissions will be 0775 or what ever you want to set it to.
