Subject: [Samba] Home-Shares are not writeable
Hello everyone!
After running Samba on several machines for some years, I just came
accross a rather strange problem. The short story is that the special
user home shares are readable, but not writeable.
Here's the long story: The system is a freshly set-up Debian Squeeze,
right out of the box. This is the Samba config:
8
[global]
workgroup = HST
server string = %h server
dns proxy = no
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
log level = 4
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = tdbsam
obey pam restrictions = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
pam password change = yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = yes
create mask = 0700
directory mask = 0700
valid users = %S
8
(Aside from the added log level line and the removed printer shares,
this is exactly the config file as delivered by Debian.)
I've added a linux user testuser including a home directory and set a
Samba password by using smbpasswd -a testuser.
8
tux:/home# ls -la
...
drwxr-xr-x 2 testuser testuser 4096 23. Jun 14:01 testuser
8
And this is what happens when I try to connect to the share and do a
write operation, for instance creating a directoy:
8
tux:/home# smbclient -U testuser localhost\\testuser
Enter testuser's password:
Domain=[HST] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.5.6]
smb: \ mkdir test
NT_STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED making remote directory \test
smb: \
8
As you can see from the directory listing above, the directory of course
is not write protected. (BTW: chmod-ing testuser's home directory to 777
didn't change anything.)
Here's an excerpt from /var/log/samba/log.tux. I've removed several
lines that seemed irrelevant to me in order to keep this mail short. Of
course I can supply the skipped lines if needed.
