Thread: Samba Configuration Assistance

hey guys,

have samba working want to, sharing specific folders specific users on external hd on network.

tried doing same sequence of events add user , folder did few weeks ago, , "works" when user logs in , goes mount specific folder, goes planned except getting read permissions given folder.

nothing different user others. ideas?

code:

 # useradd resource  # smbpasswd -a resource

smb.conf entry:

code:

[test]     path = /media/slave/test     browseable = yes     read = no     guest ok = no     create mask = 0644     directory mask = 0755     valid users = resource     admin users = resource

this directory: /media/slave/test
doesn't have permissions allow user "resource" write linux user. can change permissions drwxrwxrwx or can change owner resource , group resource. either should work. there couple of other ways match permissions 2 enough give choice. i'd change owner.

in fact i'd make directory owned "resource" , share this:

code:

[test]      path = /media/slave/test      read = no      force user = resource      valid users = resource

and added security i'd chmod directory 750 (drwxr-x---) , chown resource:resource

secure read-write shares; no guest access
