Not that I know of: you could set up a new share in smb.conf that could have fixed ownership though. (Though I don't really use samba at all any more.. the windows machine has been dead for a year and I haven't bothered fixing it... The wife uses it for print sharing, but that's about it.) -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80300 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Are those individual share settings or global settings? Any way to configure Samba at either the global or share level to simply have new folders and files inherit the permissions and ownhership of the parent folder? It drives me a little nuts that anything transfered or created over the network is owned by the user account used to remotely login. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80300 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I believe ubuntu has a pretty gui interface to this, but that machine has no monitor and sits in a cabinet, so not like I run a gui on it. -- snarlydwarf snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80300 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

It depends, but the best, cleanest way is to install Samba on the Ubuntu box. It implements standard Windows file sharing (and print sharing) so your windows users just see it as a standard Share that you can do standard drag and drop commands. Samba is actually named "smb" and you can have Synaptic install both the client and the daemon (smbd) for you automatically. Setup is not too complex, and I think there are now guis to handle the setup. You can use the network-Windows style password and username support, and it will look exactly like any other Windows server. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] Questions re: Ubuntu and Squeezebox Server
Yeah, this is my first foray into Linux. I did figure out a few moments ago that if I changed the permissions on the folder, SBS could access the files. I figure I'll play around with this and try to figure it all out before building/installing a new system.

Check carefully that the ownership and group links are right, and match the userid that SBS is running as. It will work great, but you need proper access up and down the whole chain. And if you have the music on a separate partition, you need to make sure that the disk is mounted properly and accessible to the userid that is running the server. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Questions re: Ubuntu and Squeezebox Server
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an older hard drive in anticipation of building a second computer to run as a music/SB server for my Touch. I stored a couple of albums in my /home/user/Music folder, but when I scan the library, Squeezebox Server doesn't see anything. I have each album in it's own folder. If I remove a couple of .wav files from the folders and rescan, the files show up. Is there any way to get Squeezebox Server to recognize the files in their individual folder or am I going to have to remove every .wav file from their individual folders and store them all in my /home/user/Music folder? I gotta say I don't really like the notion of doing the latter.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] left menue of server is blank
thanks Michael! I cleared the cache from the directory /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/ restarted everything in addtion I opened once the pugin-tab within the SBS-settings and restarted there once again => did this because SBS mentioned at the left-buttom that new plugins have been installed => guess this happened just because within the cache-folder also some plugin-data is stored thanks for your help! simsboard -- simsboard so far only 1x Squeezebox Radio with selfmade batterykit changed from mysb.com to a local server http://www.lastfm.de/user/weanabazi simsboard's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33135 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80274 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
