Hello everybody! Obviously Samba as a PDC and Fileserver for w2k clients is not as easy as I first thought.
Soon after setup and integration in a network a problem with the shares and MS Word appeared. Any time a file is opened with M$ Word directly from a share and edited it can't be saved. The M$ user gets the msg that the file is write-protected and on the samba side the file permissions are changed to r-xr-xr-x even if they have been 770 before. Here some of my configs: ####################### +Samba 3.0.1 on Debian 3.0 + Groupmapping: - Domain Admins -> root - Domain Users -> domuser - Domain Guests -> nogroup + smb.conf: [global] ... admin users = +root write list = +root +domuser create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 ... [share] force create mode = 0660 force directory mode = 0770 force group = domuser Client-side: MS Office 2000 on w2k ####################### All the files/directories on this share belong to the group "domuser". I found a hint in the Samba HowTo collection: http://de.samba.org/samba/docs/man/AccessControls.html#id2920312 According to that I set the sgid bit on all the directories (rwxrws---) and did set the "force create/directory mode" but that doesn't help. If anyone came across a similar problem or even a solution, please help me. A samba fileserver. that scrambles write-rights in conjunction with M$ Word is pretty useless ..
