Re: Permissions question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Dear salam,

Please make sure that, user viewpoint must be a member of that group
which user todd belongs (because todd is able to write in the directory).
I suppose permissions donot need to be checked, beacuse todd is able to write.

OR, the files permissions should be 664

My www directory is owned by "apache" and the group is "todd" and the

My Windows computers use Samba and they log into Linux with "todd".

Under the www directory there are various directories which may have a
group belonging to a user e.g. "viewpoint".  Using this example, there
is a directory under www (acutally called httpd), "viewpoint" that is
owned by "apache" and is a member of the "viewpoint" group.  "todd" is
also a member of  the "viewpoint" group.

Now this is the problem I do not know how to correct:  if "todd" using
Samba creates a directory in "viewpoint", the owner and group is "todd"
with 755 permissions.  Now if the "viewpoint" user tries to write to the
directory, he does not have adequate permissions.

Maybe I have not setup the owners and groups correctly.  maybe there is
something I need to do with how Samba interacts with the server.

Any suggestions will be appreciated...

Todd
