Colleagues, I have encountered a weird problem (FreeBSD 8.2, samba34-3.4.14). A user can create files in a samba share but cannot delete files from it (unless she is the owner of the file).
The user is a member of a group with rwx permissions on this directory granted by a Posix ACL entry. The user can create and delete files in the directory from the shell on the file server (which is correct according to Unix logic), but only create from the Windows client. smbd seems to be interfering somehow with unlink(). If I make the user the owner of the file, or a member of the file's primary group, now the user can delete the file. If a user is a member of some other group which has rwx permissions on the directory, the user can only create files but not delete them. Certainly it's not a Unix permission issue. There is no "read only" attribute on the files, no sticky bit on the directory, no weird UFS file flags and attributes. I have tried "acl check permissions" both yes and no with no effect. TIA for any ideas. I have seen people with similar problems, like http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-May/120521.html but never a solution. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:[email protected] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
