Hi,
Is there a way to configure samba such that Windows applications are
not allowed to change file permissions for existing files in the
share.
I just want to be able to read and modify the files from Windows
without affecting the file permissions inadvertently. I do not care
about any Windows side file attributes such as ACL.
I tried several things including parameters such as 'map archive =
no', 'security mask = xxx' etc. Nothing seem to result in what exactly
I want. This is surprising considering that my requirement is very
simple.
You can always set "nt acl support = no", which is an old
option from when we first added Windows ACLs. Also setting
map XXX = no will stop DOS attributes being mapped to POSIX
permissions.
Not knowing precisely the error...but how about
force user = <user>
on the share?
Jeremy.
