[Samba] File permission problem
Hi Mogens,
I'll try more during the week-end but I am sorry all this is not very clear to
me (not your fault).
And I cannot reply directly to the news group, I have to go to the crappy
netscape mail thing to send this...
Anyway, see below.
Thanks again,
Dominique

currently: 1 active user: myself (uid 500) , the login which I use for samba
and for the linux box itself to work on it. One inactive user (my wife ;-) uid
501) In the future I want more users (my kids are getting bigger :-). I have a
"users" group (gid 100? I suppose).
But I want to share the /data1 etc. only with 1 user (me), this is more
important and immediately urgent than the homes directory.

Thank you, but what about the /data1,2,3 ? by whom should they be owned and in
which group should they be for all this to work? This I don't understand.

swat did not change much - or I use it wrongly.
the real testparm output, I forgot some parts before:

[Samba] File permission problems
Thanks Mogens for your response:
My answers below.
Have you moved the files and users from the old server?
==> no I transferred the physical disk. Normally the users are transferred too
but this machine is just used as a server for my business and family data and I
don't use it very much locally. Not only the homes are to be exported but also
3 disks /data1 to 3.
Are the owner of the home directories the one you would expect, i.e.
does the user xyz own the directory /home/xyz:
ls -ld /home/xyz
(replace xyz with some real owners).
==> the ownership of the /data1 /data2 /data3 and home/xxx directories is to
root root
that might be it?
How do I change it (sorry newcomer's question) I know there is chown and chgrp
but how do you apply them in this case?
What does the command testparm write?
==> testparm output below (thanks for reminding me, I haven't touched samba for
2 yrs...)
How come that the permission masks are not set to all 0777 as I supposedly
changed them from swat? swat does not seem very reliable???

[Samba] file permission problems
Hi knowledgeable samba users, I had to upgrade from samba 2.2.0 on a suse linux server (7.2). Server died after two 2+ years of loyal services - otherwise I would not have changed... Now I have a samba 3.0.9-2.6 on suse 9.1. I can access the files only r-x, i.e. all files appear as read only. Trying to trouble shoot I have: - chmod-ed all the files of all the shares to 777 - in swat put the masks to 777 in the "global section" - in swat put the masks to 777 in all the shares It is a home office environment where I access the SMB server from XP and W2K stations. Is there anywhere else I should look at? thanks in advance, Dominique __ Switch to Netscape Internet Service. As low as $9.95 a month -- Sign up today at http://isp.netscape.com/register Netscape.
