Dear samba users,
I'am new to samba and I fail to solve the following problem:
To have access to a share I mount it:
mount -t smbfs -o
username=john,password=***,uid=501,gid=601,fmask=0777,dmask=0777
//myserver/myshare /domain/myserver/myshare
If id of user bob is 501, the following commands succeeds:
su bob
chmod 777 /domain/myserver/myshare/myfile
But altough bill is member of group 601 the following commands fail:
su bill
chmod 777 /domain/myserver/myshare/myfile
Is it normal? Is there a way to circomvent that? Am I completely wrong.
Thank in advance for any help.
Regards,
Vivian.
