One other thing to note, unless it has changed (recently) Samba has no
control over unix permissions that are more stringent. For example if
you have a directory with the following unix permissions 444, and then
try to apply a share permission in samba of 777 on that folder you
will get a permission denied error. Samba cannot override unix
permissions. It will work the the other way around if the unix
permission is 777 and the samba share permissions are 444 anyone
accessing the file through the share will be restricted. My
preference is to set the chmod permissions in unix and then control
access by a specified group name. That we I am only controlling RWX
values in one location.

I set up my own share declaration at the end of the smb.conf file.
For example I have a simple one called [archive] that allows backups
to be placed on a server running Ubuntu 15.04 server edition.
I create the samba users and passwords for each user (these match
their unix user accounts)
I set the appropriate unix permissions for the group that I want
typically 775.
I create a group called "archive" in /etc/group and then add all of
the users who are to have access to it into the archive group.
the valid users = @group_name is the key that allows samba to
control the access to samba share.
The key is add the the users to the group in /etc/group and to make
sure that they have a mapped samba username and password.
[archive]
comment = backup drive
path = /srv/archive
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
valid users = @archive
There are other options but I usually find that the I forget to
update the /etc/group file.
Hope that helps

Thanks for the link.
My smbpasswd is in /usr/bin/smbpasswd
Just to make sure I : touch /etc/samba/smbpasswd
then I :
smbpasswd -x username
smbpasswd -a username
still same issue.
Remove /etc/samba/smbpasswd
I've created several directories off of /work/ on the samba server
using the Samba server's command line. Using Dolphin on my desktop
I can add directories to /work/ - they have correct permissions and
ownership. However I get a permissions dialog when adding files to
/work/
If I try to add a file to one of those directories I created using
Dolphin on my desktop there is no error and no file shows up.
Thank you for your help!!

Thanks!! I added the Samba user as one of the first steps. My
smb.config shows "passdb backend = tdbsam". I cannot find the
tdbsam file. What am I missing?

If I remember right, samba doesn't follow regular *nix permissions.
Try running the command:
smbadduser
to get your user name and password in. Use those credentials when
you
login to transfer files and see if it works.

Hi,
I am running Mint 17 KDE. I've uploaded Virtualbox and created a
vm using CentOS 6.6. On the CentOS 6.6 VM I installed Samba.
I created a user on the VM and created the same user as a Samba
user.
I created a directory off root : /work
smb and nmb are both running.
in the /etc/samba/smb.conf I:
1) set the workgroup - I do not think this is necessary since I am
connection from Linux.
2) commented out all the cups references
3) added the following lines:
- path = /work
- writable = yes
- browseable = yes
- read only = no
SELinux is disables
IPTables is disabled
I have the exact same config on a laptop running CentOS 6.6 and it
works fine. Only difference is the laptop mounts and connects to
Samba from the fstab.
To connect to the Samba share on the VM I issue the following
command from my desktop's command line:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user='username' //192.168.20.51/work/ [2] [1]
[1]
/mnt/centos6 (command line on my desktop)
It mounts and I can view the /work directory in Dolphin on the the
parent (mint 17 KDE desktop).
I cannot upload files though.
To test I : chmod -R 777 /work which did not help.
I checked the Samba logs and they contain almost nothing - no
errors are being logged.
I've scoured the internet and am finding no solution.
Tied:
create mask = 0755
create mode = 0660
directory mode = 0770
force create mode = 0660
force directory mode = 0770
force user = keith
force group = keith
which did not make a difference.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks!!
Keith
