Samba permissions for multiple users

thegnu · 2005-05-12 15:12:11

I've set up a samba server with a public directory. The problem I run into is that files that users create are unwriteable by others.

I don't really understand masks, and was wondering what the correct masking would be to set up full read/write/create/delete permissions for directories and files.

Does anyone have a sample smb.conf entry I could see? Thanks!

maybe try:

create mask = 0777

you can read more info about masks in the man pages: "man smb.conf"

Thanks! I had actually gotten everything working fine, but I had some files I had copied over before I figured out the masks thing. I'm just excited that I'll be able to install and configure Linux boxes for a living. Up until now it's been only Windows computers I've felt comfortable recommending to customers.

Ha! I'm breaking free!
