Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
Running x86_64 version of Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS samba version: 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 The force group option is not working. If I specify a group to be forced on a share, new files/directories created by users connecting to this share do not get this group set. smb.conf section: [example] path = /srv/example read only = no guest ok = no valid users = +group1 force group = +group1 If a user creates a new file/directory in this share, the UNIX group for the new entry is the user's default UNIX group, not group1. I see this error in the client log on the samba server: [2011/04/28 01:02:45, 0] smbd/uid.c:309(change_to_user) PANIC: assert failed at smbd/uid.c(309): conn->force_group_gid != (gid_t)-1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: samba 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-31.61-generic 2.6.32.32+drm33.14 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-31-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: openafs Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Apr 28 01:15:43 2011 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US SHELL=/bin/bash SambaServerRegression: No SourcePackage: samba ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug lucid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772158 Title: samba force group option fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
