I'm running samba on a local linux server, with a bunch of shares. Over the
last several years, this has worked perfectly in our heterogenous network of OS
X and Windows. All my windows clients still work perfectly - my users can
mount the samba shares and create, rename, move etc files and folders.
However, recently (starting yesterday) my OS X clients are unable to rename any
sub directories on any of my shares.
So, if I have a structure like this:
Share Root
FooFolder
Bar Folder
My OS X users are able to create and rename directories in the share root, but
are unable to rename folders they create in sub directories.
So, if my OS X user navigates to FooFolder and tries to create a new folder
there, a new folder is created called "untitled folder", but I'm unable to
rename it. Every time I do, the finder says "You don't have permission to
rename the item "untitled folder".
But, again, I can create and rename folders in the root of the share without
issue.
Here are the relevant bits from my smb.conf (Neighborhood is the name of the
share):
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
load printers = no
guest account = nobody
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
obey pam restrictions = yes
encrypt passwords = true
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passdb backend = tdbsam
dns proxy = no
delete readonly = yes
server string = %h server
invalid users = root
workgroup = lappygroup
security = share
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
max log size = 1000
unix extensions = no
[Neighborhood]
comment = Who are the people in your neighborhood...
path = /mnt/brick/Neighborhood
public = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force user = nobody
force group = nogroup
And here are the permissions on the root of the share:
r...@jake:/mnt/brick# ls -la | grep Neighborhood
drwxrwxrwx 46 nobody nogroup 2360 2010-02-02 15:31 Neighborhood
And the "Advertising" directory where I want to create a sub directory.
r...@jake:/mnt/brick/Neighborhood# ls -la | grep Advertising
drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody nogroup 144 2010-02-02 15:49 Advertising
And the resulting "untitled folder" that is created by the OS X client.
r...@jake:/mnt/brick/Neighborhood/Advertising# ls -la
total 11
drwxrwxrwx 4 nobody nogroup 144 2010-02-02 15:49 .
drwxrwxrwx 46 nobody nogroup 2360 2010-02-02 15:31 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nogroup 6148 2009-05-04 10:03 .DS_Store
drwxrwxrwx 3 nobody nogroup 1064 2008-12-17 15:38 Lead Tracking
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nogroup 48 2010-02-02 15:49 untitled folder
What should I be checking?
Thanks!
