Hello all, I have been struggling with a permission issue with Samba for over a week now. I've tried many different setup, without much success.
I am using samba 3.6 on Arch Linux. The user I am testing with is a member of the group nobody. I have a share defined as it : security = share [public] path = /home/smbshare public = yes only guest = yes writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0775 force create mode = 0775 The permissions on my *smbshare* folder (and the files within) are : drwxrwsr-x 10 nobody nobody 4096 Jun 5 17:35 smbshare When I am using Dolphin (KDE) to browse my share, everything is working as expected. I do not have to enter a pwd and I can create, rename, delete without any problems. For instance if I go to : smb://127.0.0.1/public/Pictures/ And create a file with Dolphin, the permissions are exactly what I want : -rwxrwxr-x 1 nobody nobody 2 May 20 16:33 test-dolphin.txt Now, I want to *mount the folder in my user home directory.* I am not using Dophin anymore, I do everything from the terminal. $ sudo mount -t cifs //127.0.0.1/public/Pictures /home/myuser/Pictures/ $ cd Pictures/ $ touch test-konsole.txt touch: cannot touch `test-konsole.txt': Permission denied *But the file is created anyway*... with the incorrect permissions (rwxr-xr-x instead of rwxrwxr-x) -rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 0 Aug 28 19:01 test-konsole.txt So what am I missing here ? Could it be related to this problem ? https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8061 Thanks! ** -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
