Quoting Keith O'Connell [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hi,
I currently serve three WinXP machines with their home directories and a
read only archive directory. this all works fine. I want to supply a
communal directory that everyone can read and write to. I thought it
would be straight forward, but it hasn't been and I do not know why.
I created a directory \mnt\store\pub\everyone and made it 777.
I added the following to samba.conf
[share]
comment = Shared
guest ok = yes
writable = yes
create mask = 777
directory mask = 777
force user = root
force group = root
map archive = yes
map system = yes
map hidden = yes
locking = no
path = /mnt/store/pub/everyone
public = yes
The didectory appears on the Windows machine, but Windows users have no
access. What is the most likely thing I have got wrong? Anyone help.
Hi,
I wonder if your force user and group to root is causing your problem.
Samba thinks that only root can access this share. Do you have a smbpasswd
entry for root? You probably shouldn't.
Check your samba logs and run # testparm for more help.
Also, you may want to consider using the sticky bit for a public writeable
directory.
hth,
Cheers,
Mike
