Hi all,

on my smb.conf, contents the following lines:

admin users = root claudio roberto
security = server

when this users save  or write files on shared folders, they saves with
root:wheels.

How do i force this users to save your own user:group and not root:wheels???

On the shared folders contents the following lines, for example:

[publico]
 comment = Diretorio publico
 path = /usuarios/publico
 public = yes
 writable = yes
 security mask = 770
 create mask = 0770
 force create mode = 770
 force directory mode = 770
 force security mode = 770
 printable = no

thanks!



not 100% your answer, but for shared folders, you can force the user and group that it is written as, in this case, force it to administrator and domain admins ...

does the above scenario only happen with the admin-level users? so standard users save with thier username and default group?

Be careful with this one. When a user is present in the « admin users = » clause, it is mapped to root (on the Unix side of Samba) whatever he does. It was done to circumvent access control (and problems with group mappings) to allow users to do administration tasks. The downside is that their files are now owned by root... The worst problem with this is that their profile is also partially owned by root (if they have one), and when they are no more in the « admin users = » clause, they won't be able to use their profile.


Regards,

Jérôme
