Since moving from Mageia5 to Kubuntu 18.04 I have an annoying problem. I have a Raspberry PI file server running Samba and sharing PI-PUBLIC. Files are created (and owned) by various users.
This is a mixed Linux and Windows network. All Linux computers on the network (including the PI) have the same users and UIDs, to prevent confusion about file ownership. In the PI-PUBLIC section of smb.conf on the PI, all the relevant users are listed as valid users = In Mageia I could mount the share with either of the following /etc/fstab entries (note that pi is defined in /etc/hosts): //pi/PI-PUBLIC /mnt/PI-PUBLIC cifs username=solomon,password=mypassword,rw,user 0 0 //pi/PI-PUBLIC /mnt/PI-PUBLIC cifs user,credentials=/etc/samba/auth.pi.solomon 0 0 But in Kubuntu, all the files "seem" to be owned by the wrong user. If I access /mnt/PI-PUBLIC in Dolphin, all the files "seem" to be owned by root. If I access smb://solomon@pi/PI-PUBLIC/ then all the files "seem" to be owned by solomon. -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Claws Mail 3.16.0 - Kubuntu 18.04 _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
