I'm attempting to set up a samba share on my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS box, to be consumed by my mac and windows clients.
I've created a 'samba' group and added my linux users to them, gave them samba passwords, I can connect and place files, everything is peachy except the permissions.
BTW, the default home share has been completely removed to ensure it's not conflicting.
[archive] path = /home/archive read only = no guest ok = yes browseable = yes create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 force group = samba
The goal is to have it readable by guests, full control for samba users. When a non-guest user places a file in the archive share, it has the correct group of 'samba', but the permissions are 644 instead of the intended 664.
I've tried changing the create mode and directory mode to create mask and directory mask, and every combination with the force word in front of them.
I'm at a loss for why this isn't working, any help is appreciated.
Posting my entire smb.conf:
[global] workgroup = EXAMPLE server string = %h map to guest = Bad User obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 dns proxy = No usershare allow guests = Yes panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d invalid users = root force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers [archive] path = /home/archive force group = samba read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [server_backups] path = /home/server_backups force user = root force group = samba read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775
Thanks,
