linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have a ubuntu server sharing some folders using samba. When a client creates a new folder or file, the permissions aren't set according to the settings in smb.conf. My current settings for a specific share: [share] path = /mnt/share browsable = yes guest ok = no writable = yes read only = no create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0774 write list = netuser When a samba client (a windows 7 box) uses the 'netuser' account to create a file or directory, the permissions become drwxr-sr-- 2 netuser sambashare 4096 2012-01-22 21:14 New folder -rwxrw-r-- 1 net (HowTos)

I'm having a problem with setting up samba share permissions on ubuntu server lts. I've got two shares set up in the smb.conf file.

Hi, I need help with permissions.

So far I have ubuntu server installed with samba and I can access from Windows /var/www share. Here is what I have defined in smb.conf

Code: [www]   comment = Web Development   path = /var/www   browseable = yes   read only = no   writable = yes   guest ok = no   guest only = no   valid users = @ww

SAMBA permissions 3 years 14 weeks ago

I have a fileserver running openSUSE 11.2 and samba services for file access from MS Windows based workstations. My question relates to changing default permissions on files and directories created from the windows clients.

Following are extracts of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file :

[myshare] create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770

Sigh...:confused: I've read multiple times about file permissions and Samba sharing. I am still confused. It seems that what I have learned so far is that what a user can do in a Samba share is affected by both Linux and Samba permission settings.

samba private and guest shares 3 years 34 weeks ago

I am trying to configure samba to have 1 private share (with password promt) and 1 guest share without any password promt. My samba config is:

Code: [global] workgroup = workgroup server string = Fedora File Server

log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50

        security = user

Have user1 and user2.

I've created 2 samba shared directories. One on the local disk of my server, the other one is an external disk (fat 32) which a mounted and applied chmod 777 already. On my windows PC I can access both shares, but I can only create/write on the first share (local dir on my server).

Hi, I just set up an ubuntu 9.10 server (no desktop environment, command line only) and I'm unable to see my samba share.

I followed these instructions.

Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf file:

So I have samba setup and running on my Ubuntu box. I've successfully logged in on my WinXP machine, and was able to browse my home directories but an unable to create files, folders, etc. No write access.

In my samba config, I have set the this line read only = no, thus granting access to write to my home directories.
