hi all,
I have made this simple smb configuration which may help out Keith and
anyone else to share files on a Linux server using Samba.
the most impotant part is the membership into the group and the chmod
permissions given to te directory.
su -
mkdir /shared
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[shared]
comment = My stuff
path = /shared
valid users = dino fred
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0765
service smb restart
chown dino:dino /shared
now writing as dino is enabled
useradd fred
passwd fred
smbpasswd -a fred
fred can login to directory but cannot write
drwxr-xr-x 2 dino dino 4096 Dec 8 07:12 shared
chmod 2775 /shared
drwxrwsr-x 2 dino dino 4096 Dec 8 07:12 shared
gpasswd -a fred dino
Adding user fred to group dino
now fred can login to share and access dino's files and also create new
files

Hi List,
I've been having a problem with samba every since I started using Linux:
I have created a share on one of my computers. Here is the relevant
part from smb.conf:
[keith_private]
path = /home/keithvassallo_net/shared
comment = Keith's private directory on atomserv.net
valid_users = keithvassallo_net
public = no
readonly = no
writable yes
On the other computer, I mount the samba share, from /etc/fstab:
//192.168.1.100/keith_private /home/keithvassallo/keith_private smbfs
credentials=/home/keithvassallo/.smbpasswd 0 0
As you may have noticed, the username on the computer sharing is
keithvassallo_net, whilst on my PC (the computer I am mounting on) the
user name is keithvassallo. The above arrangement works - but
/home/keithvassallo/keith_private is mounted as readonly for all users
except root. This means I have to login as root to write anything to
the share, which is starting to bother me (after 4 years, you start
getting fed up of it). Anyway, I've tried several modifications to the
line in fstab:
//192.168.1.100/keith_private /home/keithvassallo/keith_private smbfs
credentials=/home/keithvassallo/.smbpasswd,uid=keithvassallo,gid=users 0 0
When I tried the line above, the permissions for files were set to 505
- - the uid of keithvassallo_net on the PC sharing the files.
Can anyone please help?
Keith
