I have got my Samba file shareing to work, now I can not seem to get the
permissions worked out like I would like.
I would like admin and joe to have read and write access to all 4 folders.
When I try to write to any folder except admin logged in as admin I can
not
write.
you need to join admin and joe to the smbusers group
and set the permissions on user1 and user2 to at least 775
for that to happen.
Does this mean add them to the admins group? I have already done that, if
it means something different can you please give more detailed explanation.
I think that is an unusual configuration though - most users have
exclusive write access to their home dirs (only root can also write
there)
This unusual config may be because Im looking at things from a windoze
network poing of view. Take a small office situation for example: an office
manager and some workers. The workers need only access to thier
directories, but the office manage may need to save files for the workers to
correct or retype or what ever.
What would be the prefered way of setting groups and permissions for a
situation loke this?
you could make joe and admin admin users using the
admin users directive
Can some one direct me to a detailed document on how Linux handles file
permissions or the best way to do samba fiel permissions.
samba file perms ARE linux file permissionns (unless you are using ACLs)
have a look at
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/09/06/FreeBSD_Basics.html
BTW why does directory . and .. have different permissions?
because . refers to this directory
and .. refers to the one above this one.
and they may have different permissions
Users: admin, joe, user1, user2
Groups:admins, joe
Smbusers:user01, user02
Group membership:admins-admin, joe smbusers-user01, user02
File permissions of data directory:
drwxrwxrwxrootroot.
drwxr xr x rootroot..
drwxr xr x admin admins admin
drwxr xr x joe admins joe
drwxr xr x user1 smbusersuser1
drwxr xr x user2 smbusersuser2
something is wrong with these - too many spaces
between r and x for group and other.
I just did that to make all the columbs line up.

Thanks again,
David
