It is a good link - In fact it's what I based my setup on. However, it relies on both 'inherit owner' and 'directory mode' / 'force directory mode' working simultaneously. And on my install, for some reason, that does not work. I can only get one or the other to work. Still not sure if it's a general Samba issue or FreeBSD-specific (or me being dumb somehow). -John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: Can anyone reproduce this Samba problem?
Interestingly, if I turn off 'inherit permissions', then 'inherit owner' DOES take effect correctly. However, that means the sticky bit does not get inherited, which will not work for me. I need both to be inherited, and for some reason they are behaving mutually-exclusive (with 'inherit permissions' taking precedence). If I understood your problem correctly, you don't actually want to set sticky bit on the root directory, but suid - so the chmod would be like chmod 4xxx mydir In FreeBSD suid-bitted directory will make all the subdirs to inherit the owner. Sticky bit causes bit different behaviour - see sticky (8) and chmod(1) -Reko ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Sticky bit causes bit different behaviour - see sticky (8) and chmod(1) I want both the owner AND the sticky bit to be inherited. That is my dilemma. The sticky bit is necessary in my case because I do not want anyone but the owner to modify a file once created. And further, I am setting the owner to 'nobody' so this means *no* user can modify a file once created, not even files they themselves created. That is exactly the point of this share I'm trying to create. This directory will be open to many users, via a public share, with no passwords. I want everyone to be able to create new files/dirs in this share, but I do not want anyone to be able to rename/delete/modify/overwrite/etc. *any* files once created. I am trying to avoid using SUIDDIR (see my email), though I realize that is an option. If I cannot make Samba's 'inherit owner' option work on FreeBSD, that may be my only choice. Regardless of that, I would like to determine if this is a Samba bug or not, and which versions are affected, if so. However, even if I were to use SUIDDIR, I would still need the sticky bit to prevent modifications to files. Unless I am missing something, of course (: -John ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
