Hello,
I have Samba set up on FreeBSD with a share for guests. I don't need or want
any authentication for this share.
[test2]
path = /data/test2
read only = No
create mask = 0777
guest ok = Yes
The file permission on the host directory was set to 2777 and nobody:nobody.
When a windows machine writes to the dir the permissions look fine. For example,
-rwxrw-rw- 1 nobody nobody 0 Sep 7 13:38 New Text Document.txt
However, if a Linux machine mounts the share and any user other than root
writes to it the perm's are different and you get a permissions error;
$ touch ztest.1.txt
touch: cannot touch `ztest.1.txt': Permission denied
Interestingly, regardless of the error, the file is created;
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Sep 7 16:15 ztest.1.txt
If the user opens the file to write to it, it is opened in read-only.
I get the same results when mounting the share from Linux using these two
different commands;
mount -t cifs //bsd-host/test2 /mnt/test2
and,
mount -t cifs -o file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //bsd-host/test2 /mnt/test2
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank you in advance,
James
