| hi all
|
| i'm running into a little problem when using preexec scripts for the
creation
| of dir's on my samba server....
|
| script
| ---
| #! /bin/sh
| name=`getent passwd | grep %U | awk -F: '{print $5}'`
| mkdir /samba/test/"$name"
| ---
|
| snip of smb.conf
| ---
| [test]
| path = /samba/test
| preexec = /root/script
| browseable = Yes
| writeable = Yes
| valid users = @mygroup
| force group = @mygroup
| create mask = 0770
| force create mode = 770
| ---
|
| anyone have any idea why the dir is not created under "/samba/test" ?
|
Your users don't have permission to run the scrippt /root/script, and/or
they don't have permission to run create files in /samba/test (or both).
You could just do:
public=no
preexec = mkdir /samba/test %U
or, if you don't want arbitrary users to create arbitrary directories in
/samba/test, rather do:
root preexec = mkdir /samba/test/%U && chown %U:%G /samba/test/%U
(it's a waste writing an external script for something that fits into
samba's 256 character limit on configuration entries ...).

P.S. you should also consider using 'getent passwd $USER' instead of
'getent passwd|grep $USER', the former is faster, will only return one
entry, and won't return any incorrect entries ...
