On most systems it runs as the user named 'slimserver'.
What I do: all music is owned by me ('bem'), and I can mangle it as I
see fit.
Samba is set to save things so that anyone local can read it:
Code:
--------------------
[homes]
...
writable = yes
create mask = 0755
directory mask = 0755
--------------------
That makes it so that new files and directories are readable by others
(but not writeable), including the Slimserver user.
With a setup like this you can draganddrop files from windows and
Slimserver will be happy with it, but it can't alter them (which is
fine, since it shouldn't do that anyway).
You would have to change the permissions on your music directory:
find music-directory -type f -exec chmod 644 {}\;
find music-directory -type d -exec chmod 755 {}\;
That will make files under music-directory readable by all, and
directories read/exec by all (you need the exec bit set on
directories).
