I have a file-server running FC3, which is running in share mode (XP home machines) I can mount shares and write files except for one major problem - all files are created with owner/group of nobody. This applies on bioth XP and FC3 machines. The same problem applies whether using smb or cifs This causes problems especially sending mail Any idea what is wrong? This is my relevant smb.conf [global] workgroup = brec wins support = yes netbios name = DATA_CC server string = breccc security = SHARE obey pam restrictions = Yes password server = None pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* unix password sync = Yes log level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast os level = 50 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes dns proxy = No ldap ssl = no create mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 force security mode = 0777 directory mask = 0777 force directory mode = 0777 force directory security mode = 0777 guest ok = yes hosts allow = 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.50,192.168.1.6, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.7,192.168.1.6 idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [datacc] comment = shared data files for connecting communities path = /home/data_cc writeable = yes inherit permissions = Yes
