[Samba] Re: Mapping samba shares to a second linux box

[Andrew Niven]

Thanks for the quick reply.

As root everything works correctly. The problem is I am receiving files in
the apache server and need to store them on the a storage drive so that they
can be processed by other computers.

What I can't understand is that everything works correctly from windows. I
log in as smbuser and have full access to everything I require. It's only
the linux share that fails with automount.

The permissions on the automount are as follows

[niven at devweb niven]$ ls -la /share
total 5
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root            0 Mar 25 15:03 .
drwxr-xr-x   20 root     root         1024 Mar 25 09:02 ..
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         4096 Mar 25  2003 webdocs


If I'm reading this correctly then only root has write access but the
frustrating thing is how do I get public access to this share when not
logged in as root.

have you tried to hard mount it as root? Why do you need the automounter?
mount -t smbfs //192.168.69.202/webdocs /path/to/webdocs

Also, what are the actual unix permissions on the share's unix folder? It's
very odd that you can edit as smbuser, but not create.

Subject: [Samba] Mapping samba shares to a second linux box


Hi,

I have a very frustrating problem and I can't seem to find a solution.  I am
running redhat 8.0GPL and samba 2.2.8 on two linux boxes.  The first linux
box is my storage (used by multiple pc's).  The second is my web-server
running apache and php.  The web-server recieves files which are meant to be
stored to the first linux box and processed by other computers on the
network.

The following is the smb.conf file.

[global]
  encrypt passwords   = yes
  guest account           = smbuser
  hide unreadable        = yes
  hide dot files             = yes
  log level                    = 3
  log file                      = /var/log/samba/%m.log
  netbios name            = myserver
  security                    = user
  server string             = "Development Storage"
  socket options         = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
  time server              = yes
  wins support           = yes
  workgroup              = myworkgroup

[webdocs]
  browseable             = yes
  create mode           = 0666
  directory mode       = 0777
  directory mask       = 0775
  guest ok                 = yes
  guest only              = yes
  path                       = /share/webdocuments
  read only               = no

I can connect to the webdocs directory from a windows box, browse read, edit
and create files/directories.

on the second linux box I use automout as follows

file:auto.master

/share /etc/auto.share  --timeout=600

file:auto.share

webdocs  -fstype=smbfs,username=smbuser,password=smbuser://192.168.69.202/we
bdocs

The problem is the automount seems to work, the directory is available and I
can browse, view and edit the files.
However I cannot create files in the in the share unless I am logged in as
root.  This means that I cannot recieve files with PHP and push them off to
the storage server.

I have tried different settings all to no avail.  I have tried everything I
can think of and can't get this to work.

Can anybody help me.

Thanks.
