Re: [Samba] file permissions on home directories and admin user copying files to it
2003. november 13. 19.40 dtummal Christian Nabski ezt rta: We want to copy files with the group in the admin list of the [homes] share. The problem is that the copied files then are owned by root. I know this is normal unix behavior. However we want the copied files to be owned by the user of the homeshare. I read the samba howto section Users Cannot Write to a Public Share. Although I want to set the owner on the home shares and not on a public share. The mentioned section however does not seem to work on Redhat 7.3 nor RH AS 3 ? The group gets set correctly (gets changed to the group who owned the directory) but the user stays the same. I am wondering if this is a particular issue with the Redhat distribution or something else ? For now I tried this solution : in [homes] : root preexec = chown -R %S %P This works but I wonder if this is good solution ? Christian I use force user = %S setting in [homes]. This way anyone copies into this share (who has write access of course :-) ) the owner of files will be the same user. -- attiko -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Backup from Linux onto Win2K-share

CLcd I'm running Kernel 2.4.19 and Samba 2.2.5. CLcd I'm in need to do a backup out of big SAPDB database (60 GB) CLcd onto a share on a Win2K-box (all my databases have to backup CLcd onto this w2K-box where they get saved on tape). CLcd This works fine as long as it comes to 2 GB. Than it stops with CLcd the message file size exceeded. Obviously there is a file size limit CLcd somewhere in Samba. CLcd How can I get rid of it? I've tried to use a different kernel (2.4.22) CLcd and I compiled as well as new Samba 3.0.1 from source (on a CLcd different machine). But I still have the problem. Whats wrong? CLcd (PS: NFS has a limit as well; 4 GB. But I need unlimited sizes) Seems like you hit the limit of the filesystem on the w2k-box. Not that of Samba. regards, Stefan G. Weichinger mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I also think that Stefan. May you use FAT32 on w2k? -- attiko -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] smclient-excludes
2003. november 14. 12.48 dtummal Stefan G. Weichinger ezt rta: Hello, samba-users, I am using Amanda to backup WinNT-shares. Amanda uses smbclient to generate smbtar-archives which it then writes to tape. As you all know there are various files on Windows-system-partitions that dont need to be on backup. For example stuff like pagefile.sys System Volume Information hiberfil.sys and the registry files. So there is a need to exclude files from getting into the archives/tapes. One reason is to keep stuff small, another is to eliminate annoying errors coming from open files. --- smbclient can exclude stuff via the -X option. Jon LaBadie and I have tried various approaches to exclude multiple items which may be contained in some kind of exclude-list (similar to the exclude file amanda uses for gnutar-backups). Jon has written a small smbclient-wrapper to feed the multiple options to smbclient, but it doesnt work out so far. We found that multiple includes are supported by the -I option, but it seems that there is only supported ONE exclude by the -X option. It is always the first item given that is excluded. Also we could not exactly figure out how all this relates to using -r. So the questions are: - Can we exclude multiple items from being processed by smbclient via -X? Or somehow else? - If yes, could someone point us to the right syntax? You can list all the files excludable in the form: -X file_1 file_2 file_n Filenames need to be exactly the same that smbtar echos without -X. It seems no wildcards allowed. - How to understand the -r option? Does HAVE_REGEX_H to be compiled into client.c/clitar.c to support regexes? The behavior of -r does not change the way we expected from reading the manuals. Sorry, I haven't used -r so far. Thank you all, Stefan G.

[Samba] Samba3 password backend
Hi! I tried to upgrade to Samba3 (RedHat Linux) but I couldn't find any doc about setting plain password backend. This is a small local fileserver and it doesn't need strong security. Can anyone help me? Another problem: now I use 2.2.8a with software-raid on IDE disks. I can read normally, but write is too small, and Samba sometimes says disk is full. May it incompatible between Samba and software-raid? -- attiko -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
