Hi, I'm struggling getting some production programs to run on a "new" Linux system.
These programs have been working for so many years and it seems that I've forgotten how to set them up. Maybe it's different on this server-distro. Not sure. It's Zentyal - ubuntu based. village@server-ivm:~$ uname -a Linux server-ivm 3.8.0-39-generic #58~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 21:33:17 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux There are some python programs that auto-run and always run: village@server-ivm:~$ ls -la servertasks total 100 drwxrwxr-x 2 village village 4096 May 23 12:00 . drwxr-xr-x 28 village village 4096 May 23 12:05 .. -rwxrw-r-- 1 village village 6207 May 23 12:00 directory_scantxttopdf.py -rwxrw-r-- 1 village village 569 May 23 11:28 runforever_pdfconvertor.py -rwxrw-r-- 1 village village 2826 May 23 11:26 scannerfilecleaner.py -rwxrw-r-- 1 village village 39822 May 23 11:28 spooler.py The programs that need to be accessed are in /home/samba/shares/ivm_dbase: village@server-ivm:~$ ls /home/samba/shares/ivm_dbase ls: cannot access /home/samba/shares/ivm_dbase: Permission denied Yes, I can "sudo ls" and that will work. But I don't want to. That just makes all the files "root" and no other users can read/write them. I really want the programs to access the data in the samba shares. village@server-ivm:~$ sudo ls -la /home/samba/shares total 16 drwxrwx---+ 3 root __USERS__ 4096 Apr 23 13:53 . drwxrwx---+ 4 root __USERS__ 4096 Apr 23 13:47 .. drwxrws---+ 21 dlyon __USERS__ 4096 May 23 15:20 ivm_dbase What's a good way to set this up?
