We want to copy files with the group in the admin list of the [homes] share. The problem is that the copied files then are owned by root. I know this is normal unix behavior. However we want the copied files to be owned by the user of the homeshare.
I read the samba howto section "Users Cannot Write to a Public Share". Although I want to set the owner on the home shares and not on a public share. The mentioned section however does not seem to work on Redhat 7.3 nor RH AS 3 ? The group gets set correctly (gets changed to the group who owned the directory) but the user stays the same. I am wondering if this is a particular issue with the Redhat distribution or something else ? For now I tried this "solution" : in [homes] : root preexec = chown -R %S %P This works but I wonder if this is good solution ?
