Re: Samba and file permissions

Rob -

I assume this is where I need to list all users and set the permissions as specified.  Also, I do not find an entry for "directory mask".

# The following two entries demonstrate how to share a directory so that two
# users can place files there that will be owned by the specific users. In this
# setup, the directory should be writable by both users and should have the
# sticky bit set on it to prevent abuse. Obviously this could be extended to
# as many users as required.

;   comment = Mary's and Fred's stuff
;   path = /usr/somewhere/shared
;   valid users = mary fred
;   public = no
;   writable = yes
;   printable = no
;   create mask = 0765

A problem that has plagued me for a long time (finally decided to get some expert help) is setting the owner/group on directories/files I create with samba.  Here is my situation:

On my Linux/Apache I have a user, smith.  The /home/smith directory is owned by smith and is part of the group, todd (me) with permissions 775.

This works fine until I create via samba a directory in smith e.g. /home/smith/test.  The directory is owned by todd and smith cannot create a file in it.

What have I missed and how do I fix it?

P.S. My admin expertise is just moderate since my Linux server just runs and runs without much administration needed.

 
Todd,
You did not provide a copy of your smb.conf
you may want to check
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0664
in the global section or in the particular [homes] section as you see fit.
another way is to use the sticky bit under unix file permissions
ie
chmod g+s /home/smith
