Hi,
We are using samba in a mixed Linux/Windows environment. The server is a samba 3.0.2a PDC and the clients are Windows XP and Linux (debian). Debian version is unstable, a week old on all machines.
The thing is that there seem to be several differences depending on which kernel we use on the clients. It looks like the differences are concentrated on the username / user rights part. I didn't find a list which describes this, but so far I've found at least the following options are working different, or are not working at all on a 2.6.5+ kernel(on the client):
smb.conf ------------- create mask = directory mask = inherit permissions = yes
smbmount ------------- uid= gid= fmask= dmask=
For example:
smbmount //server/share /mountpoint -o uid=100,gid=100
makes all the files owned by uid 100 on a 2.4 kernel. The same command on a 2.6 kernel makes the mountpoint owned by uid 100, the rest of the files have the uid's as set on the server.
Are my conclusions right? Are there more options which work different and is there a list?
The only way i've found to really share files is to use: force group = user force create mode = 0770 force directory mode = 0770
Is there an other way? I hope someone can help.
