Subject: [Samba] write list for share is ignored
I recently updated a Samba server from Fedora Core 4 to CentOs 4.5. The
old server had samba version 3.0.11 installed while the newer has samba
version 3.0.33 installed. The following file is a simplified version of
my smb.conf file:
[global]
debug level = 5
security = domain
workgroup = CSI-INTRANET
auth methods = guest, sam, winbind
server string = Software Engineering Workgroup Server
load printers = yes
guest account = nobody
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1024
encrypt passwords = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
dns proxy = no
map to guest = bad user
winbind separator = \\
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
[cora]
available = yes
browseable = yes
path = /home/group/cora
public = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
write list = @cora
force create mode = 0775
---------------------------
Why do you have this set?
read only = yes
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html
"If this parameter is yes, then users of a service may not create or
modify files in the service's directory."
The share needs to be read-only for all but authorised users. My
understanding of the "write list" setting is that it accomplishes
exactly that:
"This is a list of users that are given read-write access to a service.
If the connecting user is in this list then they will be given write
access, no matter what the read only
<http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html#READONLY>
option is set to. The list can include group names using the @group
syntax. "
I have, by the way, attempted to remove and/or change the value of the
read only setting and this has had no effect.
