To recap the entire problem at this point:
We have an Ultra-10 server, Trinity, running Solaris 2.9. We have developers who run SunBlade 100 workstations which have PC cards on them, so they run both Solaris 2.8 and Windows 2000. The goal is to allow the developers to access the web directories on Trinity using Windows 2000 as if it were mounted as a local drive, without using Samba.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. Shared out the web directory on Trinity:
# share -F nfs /webdirectory
2. Create a mountpoint in the user directory on each user's computer (for example, bob):
$ mkdir /usr/home/bob/trinity
3. Mount the shared resource on Trinity to that mountpoint:
# mount trinity:/webdirectory /usr/home/bob/trinity
4. Share the user directory:
# share /usr/home/bob
5. At this point, the user can see their home directory as a separate resource on their local network under Windows. They can map a network drive to it using the Map Network Drive tool, say, mapping drive G: to \\localhost\usr\home\bob
Et voila! The user can now read and write to the shared resource on Trinity.
The difficult now is making sure that the files they create and use have the right attributes. They need to be set to permission 774 but that doesn't seem to be working. When I tested this setup and created a file from Windows, the file looked like this:
-rwxr--r-- 1 1001 staff 1966 Jul 17 14:43 testing.html*
The owner name is wrong (it should be bob), but the group name is correct. However, the group permission is wrong. The owner name being wrong is something that we can live with (I can always execute a massive "chown" as root at some time in the future).
I attempted umask in the directory but that didn't seem to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd like to get this solved by tomorrow afternoon.
