[Samba] Force user doesn't work
I am using Samba 3.6.6 on Debian Wheezy. I want to be able to change www files on my dev server using my macbook. So I setup samba and made a share for the /var/www directory. I added the users bart root to samba to connect. And connect using command K and then smb://192.168.2.100 (my samba server). As apache uses www-data as a user and group for the www files I use force user and force group in samba to prevent errors in the rights. However it does force the group www-data, but doesn't force the user. Every file I create is being owned by root in the group www-data. To seek for errors I tailed the logs in /var/log/samba and only found an error in the log.smbd when restarting the samba service. See the log here: smbd version 3.6.6 started.

[Samba] force user = and guest ok = yes both set: samba 3.6.12 versus 3.6.13
Hello, when I set guest ok = yes and force user = some_user for a share and a client connects as guest, does samba switch to the user 'some_user' when it accesses the share's directory? To me it looks like samba did do this up to version 3.6.12 but does no longer with version 3.6.13: Instead 3.6.13 does switch to the guest user account - in my case to nobody. Please can someone confirm that there was a change from 3.6.12 to 3.6.13 that introduced this new behavior - or am I wrong and something else did go wrong when I did update? I did read the release notes and tried to read the source, but couldn't come to a conclusion.

[Samba] force user not working
Hai, small question. Im running debian squeeze, samba 3.6.6-2~bpo60+1 in with domain with ldap. I joint my domain with a new server as domain member, so far so good. im having problems with the force user parameter. Its not working. ;-) the force group is working fine. strange this is, the share is a copy of other server ( the settings ) and on other server its working ok. this is the share : [dbspool] comment = Aftermath Database Spooling path = /home/dbspool browseable = yes writeable = yes read list = @DOMAINNAME\groupname write list = @DOMAINNAME\groupname force user = username force group = groupname create mode = 666 directory mode = 777 wide links = yes follow symlinks = yes Very this i copy to the share has user root ( and this is correct since my user is also in the Domain Admins group ) but with force user it should be username and not root.

Re: [Samba] force user and read only
The folder is owned by a local group which belongs to the application. And I dont want to add developers to this application group. I did it now with the force user option and read only. This way I can make sure that they can always read the application logs (because they are owned by the app user) and they are not allowed to write in to that share. And I dont have to maintain group memberships, acls or file permissions. The more I think about the combination of this 2 options, the more I like it... :-) Do you see any risk if I force to use root WITH read-only? On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 4:25 PM, Dennis B.

Hi all,
I am trying to get rid of a force user setting on our samba server. I
read an article that talked about setting the SUID and SGID on the
top-level directory, and all sub-directories, of a share and this
would
cause all files to be own by the user and group for which the sticky
bit
has been set.
Here is what I did.
1. recursively changed owner/group on all file and directories in the
share to the user and group who I wanted to own said files and
directories.
2. executed find /mnt/fileserver/server -type d -exec ug+s {} \; to
set the sticky bit on all directories within the share.
3. removed the force user entry from the share definition and
restarted Samba
4. Browsed the share and created a new file. It came up as owned by me
not the user who I had set the sticky bit for. It did have the proper
group as I am a member of that group.
5. Opened and Excel file and then closed that file. It prompted me to
save changes, made none, and when I said no it updated the time stamp
anyway.
I am using the force user entry to solve the known problem with
Microsoft Office files. I have about 14 employees who access the share
and all file and directories within it. Timestamps are very important
and we need them not be changed when simply viewing a file.
It was my understanding that by setting the SUID and SGID it would
cause all files to retain their ownership and all newly created files
to
get the user and group for which the sticky bit was set.
I know that this is a Linux file system question, but it is relating
to
Samba and I am hoping that someone out there has experienced this and
can point me in the right direction.
Thank you
Michael Kelly

[Samba] Force user
Hello list The Samba Howto Collection repeatedly asserts that by setting the sticky bit on directories any files created in those directories will be created with the owner set to that of the directory (for example, see http://samba.mirror.ac.uk/samba/docs/man/howto/AccessControls.html#id2541262). This has never worked for me. Files created inherit the group of the directory, but not the owner. I have even followed, line for line, the sequence on that page as follows: # chmod 6775 /foodbar $ ls -al /foodbar/.. You should see: drwsrwsr-x 2 jack engr48 2003-02-04 09:55 foodbar # Now type: $ su - jill $ cd /foodbar $ touch Afile $ ls -al You should see that the file Afile created by Jill will have ownership and permissions of Jack, as follows: -rw-r--r-- 1 jack engr 0 2003-02-04 09:57 Afile That all works right up until the last line, where I see the file owner is jill, not jack. Maybe I've misunderstood this, but the chmod(1) man pages don't mention the owner being forced, only group. So have I got it wrong (most likely), or is the Samba Howto Collection wrong in the many places it asserts that this can be done?

I think that what Sue pasted was what she thinks she _should_ have seen, rather than what she _did_ see. I've been playing this a bit using 3.0.4 on a Debian Stable ext3 partition and have found the same thing - files created in a SUID directory are not owned by the owner of that directory, but the user creating them. I've also found threads on the LKML that discuss whether or not to support the SUID bit on directories from about two years ago, which doesn't seem positive. So, this feature may work on other Unixes that support SUID on directories (like FreeBSD, IIRC). My interest was having the ownership of files within a directory being assigned to the owner of that directory, rather than the user creating the files. This principally happens when technicians assist a user with a file restoration or other admin tasks and then forget to assign ownership to the user - which mucks up the quota system! :) Cheers, Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Sue, The 6775 sets the directory a set-uid and set-gid directory NOT set the sticky bit on. 1775 or 1777 is to set the directory's sticky bit (the difference between 1775 and 1777 is former allows directory owner and group members to write to the directory and latter allows all users to write to the directory.

Jose hi, per default a file is created with the permissions of the creator in a samba share, with force user you can force the creator to be a different user or group, this is helpfull in a few cases i.e if youre using a smb share for apache ( user wwwrun etc ), but use this parameter with care it can break your security and result in miracle permissions behavior. i recommend to read the samba faq, and man smb.conf Regards -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I am keeping all the shares the same, I have synced all the gid's and uid's between the two machines, and I rsynced all the files and directories over from the old machine so that all the permissions and ownerships are the same between the two machines.

Re: [Samba] force user not working
:0) Just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you guys :0) I just hate it when people get the answer they want, and then don't post the solution! How selfish! The answer was this: admin users = chris, administrator Apparently, this is handled differently in 2.0.7 than it is in 3.0.2a. 3.0.2a basicly says that anyone on the admin list is effectively root. Since I was testing it with my account, it was setting my user to root, and hence any file I made was owned by the man. I am simply going to do away with admin users, since I have no real use for that anymore anyway. ciao. Chris On Tuesday 30 March 2004 02:43 pm, Chris wrote: Okay. Nevermind. I got it.

[Samba] force user vs read list
I am in the process of expanding access to a share that currently has the following configuration: [uniqname] comment = Unique comment path = /path/to/the/stuff public = no writable = yes printable = no valid users = user1,user2,user3 force user = cooluser I want to add read-only access to an additional set of users. The smb.conf man page and the Samba-HOWTO are not clear (to me) about the precedence of the force user option versus the read list option - if I add user4 to a read list parameter entry, will they also get logged on as that user and have write permissions (as determined by the underlying filesystem)? I wanted to ask before even trying just to make sure that any discovery isn't later deemed a bug and changed. If the force user overrides the read list, I suppose I can just set up an alternate share pointing to the samba path that is read only with a different set of valid users, but that just feels so kludgey... The samba version in use is 2.2.8a, but I will be upgrading to 3.0.2a in the very near future, in case there is any difference. Thanks in advance for any help.

I wanted to ask before even trying just to make sure that any discovery isn't later deemed a bug and changed. This is a poor solution. The 'force user' and 'force group' directives have serious side-effects and should be avoided if possible, A better way to handle this is to use directory permissions to control who can write and who can read. In this case you could set the directory as read only to 'others' and writable to the group that owns the directory. Then, if you set the SGID bit on the directory all files created within it will always be owned by the group that owns the directory. Alternately, as documented in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection you could jst as well use Share level permissions to limit which groups can write and who gets read-only access. In fact, you can ensure that no-one except members of those groups can even access the share. If you use Share level permissions (ACLs) then you do not need to set in smb.conf the 'valid users' parameter either.

Re: [Samba] Force User -
Why you dont use ftp? Is more flexible as samba to web. When you must use samba try disable force user and create cron job to change owner on new files to apache. It creates flexibility to users can change uploaded files only by its owner and only by time to cron job.

[Samba] force user
Hello, I am using a samba share to upload files from my PC to an intranet server running apache on red hat 6.2. However, i always want the user/owner of the file to be apache and the group to be webdev. BUt even though I set these options in samba when I create a file and upload to the intranet via the samba share for some reason the user/owner of the file is always root. Why?? The options i used were force user and force group. Has anyone any ideas? Or maybe there is a Linux command I can use to force the owner of file for certain directories?

[Samba] force user broken
Hi, I'm running 2.2.3a on Solaris 8 (108528-12). There's a share that was working fine using a force user param enabled. It has stopped working and I'm not sure how to go about debugging. Any ideas? robstewart -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
