We have tried several of the recommendations but still the files are created as
<userid> group users and only the owner has read/write on the files. Is there
anything else we can do?
Currently we have in the /etc/smb.conf:
[MFPL]
create mask = 0755
valid users = @users
path = /srv/smb/shares/MFPL
[PL_Linux]
# Identification
comment = PL Linux
# Management
path = /srv/smb/shares/MFPL/PL_Linux
writable = yes
force group = +zlinux
valid users = @zlinux
# Access set up
create mask = 0000
directory mask = 0775
force create mode = 0770
force directory mode = 0775
And the directories contain:
nlzlx115:~ # ll /srv/smb/
drwxr-xr-x 7 root users 4096 Apr 20 13:36 shares
nlzlx115:~ # ll /srv/smb/shares/
drwxrwxr-x 5 root users 4096 May 4 09:38 MFPL
nlzlx115:~ # ll /srv/smb/shares/MFPL/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root zlinux 4096 May 4 10:14 PL_Linux
nlzlx115:~ # ll /srv/smb/shares/MFPL/PL_Linux/
-rwxr--r-- 1 nl12237 users 0 May 4 10:13 New (17) Text Document.txt
-rwxr--r-- 1 nl12237 users 0 May 4 10:14 New (18) Text Document.txt
Regards, Berry.
