setting up a samba PDC -error with testparm

  • 772

I have installed a samba PDC but when I test the samba configurations file I am getting errors like these, "Invalid combination of parameters for service homes. Map system can only work if create mask includes octal 010 (S_IXGRP)."

My Configuration file is as follows

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
 path = /home_srv1/%u
 valid users = %S
 read only = No
 create mask = 0660
 directory mask = 0770
 browseable = No

I tried to google but with no luck, Serverfault is always my best hope.

Thanks for helping out.

    It means that the 'create mask' must include the binary 1 in the mask. create mask is an octal representation of the POSIX rights. The error message is telling you that 'group' requires 'execute' permissions for it to be valid.

    1 = ..x
    2 = .w.
    3 = .wx
    4 = r..
    5 = r.x
    6 = rw.
    7 = rwx

    A correctly formed "create mask" would look like create mask 0670.

  2. valid users = %S is redundant, you can safely remove it
