This is still an issue in Karmic. I tried using the 'inherit owner = yes' parameter both in /var/lib/samba/usershares/<sharename> and in /etc/samba/smb.conf, but this resulted in other clients not being able to write to the server, so it is not a fix
The only fix I have found is to set 'create mask = 0777' and 'directory mask = 0777' in the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf which means the owner and group is still nobody:nobody, but full read/write permissions are granted to any user including guests on any file or directory created in the share. Setting these two parameters in /var/lib/samba/usershares/<sharename> does not currently seem to work. -- files incoming through nautilus-share should be created with user ownership, instead of "nobody" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
