[Samba] permission problem samba share 2nd suse server

[Roland_Lepper at Liteonit.com]

Sorry if my question was not compleet.

I have to use Samba because I have an AD on Windows 2003.

I'm creating a mailbackup server to store mailbackups. Because we have to keep them a long time
(sales, logistics, finance) I'm running out of diskspace on my Windows fileserver. We're talking
about 150GB of mailbackup. That why I've created a backupserver on Suse10 using Samba.

The goal is to create one single share which holds the mailbackups per user and per 'public' mailbox
like logistics_eu at example.com.
That share is accessible to everybody, but access to the mailboxes is restricted to the users
privileges. Like user steve don't have access to user george's mailbackup folder, but will have
access to his own mailbackup folder.
This is why I can't use nsf, i think.

So I've set the permissions on the mailbackup server. Please see mail below.
I've mounted the mailbackup directory on the backupserver.
But when I want to access the mounted mailbackup dir on the backup server as root, I don't have
access to it (Permission denied).
This sounds strange because I gave root permissions on the mailbackupserver to the mailbackup dir.

I can access the mailbackup dir if I mount it under Windows with the permissions I want.

Hi Roland,


Tell me first both the system that you are using are on linux than why
you are using samba there, use nfs :D

further seems strange to me,

Mount the same share on local system and than see if you face the same
error.
