 Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2002 6:14 pm Post subject: explanation of samba "create mask/mode"? |
 |
|
Could someone out there try and explain how the create mask and create mode lines in a samba config works? I've been googling for about 20 minutes but coming up with nothing.
I (nearly) fully understand permissions under Linux in general, but I just can't figure out how to use create mask when making shares under samba. 
What I would like is to be able to create a samba share that points to my apache htdocs folder. I only want to give myself access to this folder, however I need the permissions to always use the apache user/group and not my own username. I also want the numeric permissions to always be 770.
I'm using the following right now for my samba share, but any file I touch under windows resets the user/group to my own which means I have to ssh into the linux box and do a chgown and chgmod before the web server will serve up the modified files
| Code: |
[htdocs]
comment = HTDOCS root
path = /path/to/htdocs
browseable = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0770
users = sandej
|
So is create mask or create mode what I need to learn to do this? |

| When you access a file, from windows on the linux box running samba.. when you upload/save it.. its permissions are set to the user that you mounted the drive as ? |
