Hi group, I installed samba on my NSLU2 running etch and the setup was easy and sweet. I didn't change a thing apart from setting writable = yes for my home directories. However, I have the following problem when I mount my home directory on my linux box:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/procyon$ sudo mount -t cifs //procyon/dfokkema /mnt/procyon/dfokkema/ -o user=dfokkema Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/procyon$ cd dfokkema/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/procyon/dfokkema$ touch test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/procyon/dfokkema$ ls -l test -rw------- 1 dfokkema dfokkema 0 2007-03-25 10:13 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/procyon/dfokkema$ chmod 777 test [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/mnt/procyon/dfokkema$ ls -l test -rwx------ 1 dfokkema dfokkema 0 2007-03-25 10:13 test In other words: there seems to be a 0700 AND mask which the server applies to my permissions. I tried various security mask options, to no avail. The only way I could cure this is by setting create mask = 0777 Then I can chmod 000, 707, 644, 755, 777 whatever I want. However, I don't want to set this option because a touch test will then create a file with 777 permissions, :-( There must be something I'm missing here... This is my standard, ill-behaving config according to testparm: [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No Does anyone have a clue?
