My problem is that when I *replace* a file on a share, the file
permissions get changed from 0777 to 0733. I'm running Samba 3.32 on
Ubuntu Server 9.04 with both Ubuntu and Windows clients as guests. For
some common shares I have create mask = 777 and force create mode = 777.
This works fine for creating files, but when I replace a file on this
share by certain methods on an Ubuntu client, the permissions get set to
0733, so the file is then unreadable (and undelete-able) by a guest. The
problematical methods are simply dragging a repeat of the same file into
Nautilus file browser, or performing a repeat save as from Evince
DocViewer (which means it's a particular nuisance with PDF files). As
far as I can see there's no problem with saving from other Ubuntu apps,
or with Windows clients, or with Ubuntu clients on other shares which
are not guest-accessible.
The section of smb.conf for the share is:
[SDRFiles]
writeable = yes
path = /var/sdr/SDRFiles
write list = sdr
force directory mode = 0777
force group = sdr
force create mode = 0777
force user = sdr
comment = SDR Files on server3
guest only = yes
public = yes
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
Be glad of any suggestions. Thanks, Roger
