For anything resembling unix filesystem semantics, being able to create and delete files depends on the permissions of the containing directory, although you can constrain deletions to files that you own (the way /tmp works, for example). If can't require a designer to do the move/copy from project to final you might want to look at a revision control system like subversion or a workflow (and more) system like Alfresco where you have greater control over the operations. Subversion saves every revision so even if you delete or modify something you can recall earlier versions. Alfreso can present web/ftp/smb/nfs shares but with some programmed logic controlling who can see/do what. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The permissions you ask for are likely not possible within CentOS (at least not exactly the way you specify them). You can add ACL permissions to the ext3 file system and use that with samba ... but with these controls, you have read (r), write(w), and execute (x) permissions. There are no ways to allow creating files and not folders ... also, if you can create files, you can delete them. The tool setfacl and getfacl can be used to set permissions. This is a good article to start with: http://aisalen.wordpress.com/2007/08/10/acls-on-samba/ Here are a couple more: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-acls.html You will have to also decide HOW you want to integrate this machine into other infrastructure. If you already have some kind of Directory Service (the newer Widows Active Directory Services, Windows NT type Directory control, LDAP on Linux, Red Hat Directory Server, etc.). You will likely want to make same talk to that service, whatever it is. This is a 2 step process ... set up and get working ACLs, then set up and get working samba (this part will depend on what you are integrating with). signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

He will need that also. There is a whole section of a couple pages explaining on how to do this in "Samba 3 Howto.pdf" from samba.org.

Can you from the AD server in AD Users and Groups confirm the same thing from a mapped share by looking at the user listed in it?

"[EMAIL PROTECTED] yourservernamehere" All your line means, is that is the administrative share "\\servername\admin$". OK, if you did the example in the from "Samba 3 by Example", then you will be able to connect via anonimously to the samba server from the Windows machine. That is providing that you have the correct file permissions on the Samba Server in question. For that you will use the commands "chmod & chown". Full access is needed to the folder that is shared in samba using that example. When using chown and chmod be sure to use the "-R Option", to make the changes apply recursively to the shared folder. I honestly know that if your indeed using that example it will work if followed step by step.

Re: [CentOS] samba question
I notice in the example running "smbclient -L localhost -U%" will output the line below: ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.20) but from my C5.1, I don't have this line, other lines are the same, can anyone explain this line, wondering if this is where the problem lies. Run testparm and tell us what your share definitions are...if any. cheers, Christopher ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

No, I don't mean to ask you walking me step by step. Actually I am following the "Samba 3 By Example" and stuck at the very first example. I copied the whole smb.conf but cannot connect to my box. I can ping to it and ssh to it though.

Thanks David Hi David, I recommend you this: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ This is IMHO an excellent guide made by the good folks at samba.org. Very basically, you need to edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and define your shares there. The default file is abundantly commented. You can have your server validate the accesses using locally stored samba/users accounts or even validate with a SMB/CIFS PDC (Winblows or Samba). Hope this helped a bit! Guy Boisvert, ing.

There is a very good guide out there - the copy I have is *way* out of date so I won't offer it.

You should also need to disable windows simple file sharing in the Tools Menu. Have a look at wiki.centos.org there is great how to there about how to do all this.
