To Whom it May Concern I am a linux newbie and need some help with my installation of Samba on Mandrake 9.2. Below is a copy of the smb.conf file
global] workgroup = PDC_A server string = Samba Server %v printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups printer admin = @adm log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 map to guest = bad user security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 winbind separator = + winbind use default domain = yes template homedir = /home/%D/%U socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no At the moment we have a NT4.0 server that is our file server as well as our PDC. I am trying to introduce the Samba server to take over the file and print share role. I have managed to set it to to where I can see both the individual shares as well as the public dir. but at intermittent times the permissions on the /home/public directory change. I have to use chmod 777 /home/public to allow users to see the directory. How do I stop the permissions changing once I open up that directory for all users to read and write to it?
