[Samba] Help with samba

[Sebastian Sola]

Hi,

I have an small network with SUSE 9.1 and trying to
use samba. I was reading a lot of papers about samba,
but i cannot do something i need.

In my computer i have a directory named cotiza owned
by user4(me) with the group users and mode 765.

M users list there're user1, user2, user3 and user4
all of them with users group.

In smb.conf have:
[cotiza]
comment = Directorio de Cotizaciones
path = /home/cotiza/
valid users = user1,user2,user3
read list = user1
write list = user2,user3
create mask = 0765
create directory mask = 0765
create directory mode = 0765

In users 1, 2 and 3 smbfstab have:
//xxx.xxx.x.x/cotiza /home/user(x)cotiza
username=user(X),password=xxxx,fmask=765,dmask=765

All of that is not working. I need that users2 and 3
can create or modify any of the files inside and user1
just read it. Also, I need users 2 and 3 can make
directorys with the same mode and that is not working
too.

Can somebody help me??

Thanks

Hi,

i think you have a problem with the linux file rights:

You have 765 so you get drwxrw-r-x for your directory /home/cotiza.

Your users need the right x for changing in a directory. So all users in
your group users aren't allowed to get in!

You will need 775!

OK.

read list = user1
write list = user2,user3
create mask = 0765
create directory mask = 0765
create directory mode = 0765

Isn't user4 allowed to write there with a smb/cifs-client?

Post by Sebastian Sola
//xxx.xxx.x.x/cotiza /home/user(x)cotiza
username=user(X),password=xxxx,fmask=765,dmask=765

I think you can leave f/dmask away, but I'm not sure.

You will have this points, when you change the rights to 775. Problem
are users in group users, which can access your computer (where samba is
running), because they can write too!

A second method would be acl and perhaps you can make some easier
configuration with sticky bits -> change to 2775, then every file
beyond /home/cotiza will get equal groups.

Hope so!

Ok,

I did change all to probe just with one user. The same
/home/cotiza directory, with 775 mode

In user1 computer's: mount -t smbfs -o
username=user4(the owner of
/home/cotiza),password=xxxxx,fmask=775,dmask=775

user1 can mount /home/cotiza but, if we try to make a
directory inside, the mode for the new directory are
o+rwx g+rx a+rx, so they cannot save anything inside.

Did you change your smb.conf?

create mask = 0765

Post by Sebastian Sola
create directory mask = 0765
create directory mode = 0765

Should be
create mask = 0660 (so only user4 and users can read and write files
create directory mask/mode = 0775 or 0770

If this won't work -> have a look at the users umask!

Bye

[Sebastian Sola]

Ok, I did it

I founded a "force directory mask" option reading some
new paper in the web. With that, it seems to be
working.
Thanks for your help Chirstoph.
