[Samba] Samba and Rsync

[Cameron Rangeley]

So I added a new user names cambo then forced that user on the folder. Not working

I chown'ed cambo:cambo on my folder and still no go so as a last resort I did a chmod 777 on the folder still not working.

Then I changed my samba from being in share mode to being in user mode and when I was browsing from my windows client test pc it asked for a username and password then no-matter what I entered (I did try root and cambo) it popped the same error message.

Error is

  '/home/storman/carda/email' does not exist or permission denied when connecting to [akemail] Error was Permission denied

Ls /home/folder/folder/folder/

drwxrwxrwx 2 cambo  cambo 4.0K Dec 23 04:01 email

Samba config file:

[global]
	admin users = none 
	create mask = 0666
	server string = Samba %v
	print command = lp -d %p %s
	security = user
	encrypt passwords = yes
	workgroup = CFD
	domain master = no
	local master = no
	preferred master = no
	os level = 0
	default case = lower
	preserve case = no
	browsable = yes

[akemail]
	path = /home/folder/folder/email
	guest ok = yes
	force user = cambo
	read only = no


Any Ideas?

-a implies -r and -p (among others) so that's redundant.

ACL problem maybe?  If you use posix ACLs then rsync -A will transfer
those too.

If you store ACL info in a samba database, you will have to transfer
that somehow.
