PostPosted: Wed Sep 11, 2002 6:01 pm    Post subject: Samba and permissions Reply with quote

I have a box that is going to replace a 'doze server. Apache is currently up and operating fine. Samba, on the other hand....

I have the shares Opsreg and test set up on the Gentoo box.

I can see the box from my 'doze machines (they're all w2k), I can see the shares.

I can create and delete directories on the share.

I get a write protect error when I try to copy files from a 'doze box.

I can, however, copy files from one share to the other on a 'doze box.

If I copy a file from Opsreg to test (or vice-versa) I can see the file.

If I populate the share directory from the Gentoo box, the files are not seen but the directories are.

Here's the smb.conf file.

Code:
# Samba Configuration File
# Date: 06/02/2002 2:06 AM
# Global parameters
[global]
    server string = Sapa Test
    netbios name = SAPATEST
    workgroup = SAPA_SERVER

    os level = 34
    security = user

    encrypt passwords = yes
   
    smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
   
    admin users = root
    domain admin group = root
   
    password level = 8
    username level = 8
   
    username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
   
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   
    hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 134.133.
    log level = 1
    max log size = 50
    name resolve order = wins bcast host
    time server = yes
    deadtime = 0
    socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 IPTOS_LOWDELAY
    dns proxy = no
    wins support = yes
    invalid users = mail deamon / bin sync shutdown halt init
    veto files = /.?*/?*.*/.?*.*.*/
    follow symlinks = no
    guest ok = no
    read raw = yes
    write raw = yes
    getwd cache = yes
   
[test]
    comment = Test Share
    path = /home/stuff
    writeable = yes
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755
    guest ok = no

[Opsreg]
    comment = Opsreg
    path = /home/Opsreg
    writeable = yes
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755
    guest ok = no


Anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers,
RM

I think you should specify from whitch computer you are getting the write error etc... Would be nice if you wrote down each step.

As I can figure out you get a write error when copying files from a doze box to Samba, right?

From my experience with smb.conf you forgot to specify which users are allowed to write to the share. I think you should set up a public share like this:
Code:

[public]
  comment = Public stuff
  path = /home/public
  write list = @users

The above code makes all users in group users have access to write to /home/public. Be sure to make the right chmod on it before editing smb.conf

Hope this helps.

Just to be clear,

On my windows machine, I can create and delete directories on the Samba share.

On my windows machine, I get a write protect error when I try to copy files from a 'doze box to the Samba share.

On my windows machine, I can, however, copy files from one Samba share to the other Samba share.

On my windows machine, if I copy a file from One Samba share to another Samba share I can see the file.

From the Gentoo machine, if I copy files and directories to the Samba share, my windows machine can only see the directorys, but not the files.

I have permissions set on the share directories to 0777.

I have even set guest = ok in the smb.conf with no joy.

I've even rebooted with no luck.

I am very befuddled as to why I can create and delete directories, but not files. My home network went up without any problems, I guess I'm paying for that now.
