SAMBA Problem.....after saving, files are readonly

[chrism]

Hi,


I have the following error:

We are using SAMBA to mount ones home directory. When someone creates a file with Microsofts Office, everthing works fine. When he saves that file, everything still works fine. When he tries to save the file again, he gets an error message, that the file is readonly, though. So he has to save that file with a different name. There are no problems with oo.org

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

hi,

surfing the net, it seems like that when samba creates a new file, it uses an internal umask, see
http://www.faqs.org/docs/samba/ch08.html
for details.
I think you have to change that parameter.


first, try to adjust the line in /etc/samba/smb.conf to something like:

create mode = 0755

now it should work. if not, add the following:

create mask = 664
directory mask = 755

however, refer to the documentation.
