Greetings-
I am working through coming up with a Linux client integration to
Samba PDC's.
I mount several shares with this sort of syntax:
/bin/mount -t cifs -o
credentials=/home/userid/.smbcredentials,uid=userid,gid=userid,dmask=0777,fmask=0666
//ldslnx01/data /mnt/ldslnx01/data/
However when I create new files/dirs on the Samba share from the Linux
workstation, the perms are not 0666/0777 as I have specified.
The dmask/fmask parameters specify the permissions that the client will
show as being set on remote files. This is based on the assumption that
the remote server is not compatible with unix style permissions and/or
has no way of communicating them to the client. When connecting to a
samba server via cifs, these assumptions do not hold.
The dmask/fmask settings have no bearing on the permissions that the
server will set on the files, it is purely related to what processes on
the client system will see.
Aside from all of that, mount.cifs doesn't use *mask any more it uses
*_mode.
Historically I set those perms on the share, and that has always
worked with Windows clients.
Windows does not use unix style permissions, it has no equivilant to the
fmask/dmask settings.
I added that bit to the mount command, but it made no difference.
I believe I end up with 0755/0644, but do not hold me to that as I
have simply verified it is not correct and that is all the checking I
have done.
This is about what I would expect, you have two unix servers talking via
cifs, unix extensions will be enabled automatically and file permissions
on the client will be the same as on the server. If you want to change
this, you can still use force * mode settings on the server, or you can
disable unix extensions and use the *_mode options to mount.cifs to
mimick the old behavior.
Thanks!
