Thread: Samba setting permissions problem

dear everybody,

experiencing strange difficulties samba. permissions aren't set correctly, when creating file or folder on mounted samba share.

smb.conf looks follows:

code:

[shareoffice]    path = /home/shareoffice    writable = yes    browseable = yes 	    create mode = 0777    directory mask = 0777    force create mode = 0777    force directory mode = 0777

now if create regular file on folder:

code:

touch testfile; ls -l

the permissions turn out be:

code:

-rwxr-xrwx 1 simon share 0 2011-06-28 21:42 testfile

does have idea, why w bit on group missing? if play around create mode / force create mode, every other possible permission output --- except write access group members.

thank

could try, @ root of share (which shareoffice presume) following :

code:

chmod g+w /home/shareoffice

and see if helps ? tell system group called 'share' w/e users in should able write directory.
