Re: [Samba] Permissions issue -- cannot delete a folder/file

2008-01-23 Thread Robert Pollard

How many aliases are allowed.  I remember seeing an alias field in swat.

I have 4 logins that I was going to set up for the user that will be 
maintaining all 4 directories.  For reasons to lengthy to explain, I need 4 
different mount points with separate logins.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Robert

This is a Microsoft feature and it has always been that way. A single
user can not connect to the same server with more than one set of
credentials at a time.


This is just a client redirector limitation, you can work around it by
giving your server a netbios alias and connecting to this different name
and a new set of credentials (does not work with kerberos credentials
for obvious reasons, but works with NTLM auth).

Simo.

[Samba] Permissions issue -- cannot delete a folder/file

2008-01-23 Thread Robert Pollard
Hi,

I am relatively new to Samba although I've installed it and used it before my 
knowledge is very shallow.

Environment:

Samba version is: 3.0.21a
Platform: Sun X4200 M2, AMD Opteron running Solaris 10
Client: Windows Vista

Situation:

I am trying to allow a user to copy folders from her desktop system to the SMB 
share that is mounted on her computer.  I am using a different login to mount 
the share on her computer.  The login was created on the server side.

After copying a folder to the server she can't delete the folder.  The login 
used to mount the share is the owner of the folder and the permissions are set 
to 755.

So, I went to the command line and tried to delete the folder and it prompted 
me to verify that I wanted to delete each subfolder that was protected.  But, 
when I create a folder/file in this folder from the command line I can delete 
it with no questions asked.

Looking at the permissions from the Window side I only have Read & Execute and 
Read permission on each file in the folders.  If I don't have permission to 
write I shouldn't have permission to delete either.

The question:

Why is it that I am the owner of the folder/files, I have Read/Write/Execute 
Unix permission as the owner (755) but I can't delete the folder after copying 
it to the server?

Gripe session: (Ignore this if you don't have time or don't care)

I originally had planned to allow the user to have 2 mount points on the same 
server using different logins.  Didn't realize that SMB protocol allows only 
one login to the server at a time.  What is up with that?
So, I had to reorganize the folders and permissions to allow 3 users to only 
see their folder whilst the other user can see hers and the other 3 user's 
folders.

Thanks in advance...
