Hi all,
Running samba 3.5.5 in a Solaris non-global zone. I have created a folder (StudentJobApplications) on a share which I want to make accessible only to members of a Unix group (studempl). I have added myself to the group but when I or other group members try to access the folder via Windows Explorer I get the following:
I:\StudentJobApplications is not accessible
Access is denied
Here are some of the particulars:
The folder:
# ls -ld /departments/common/StudentJobApplications
drwxrwx--- 2 root studemp 2 Jul 11 08:34 /departments/common/StudentJobApplications
The group (etc/group):
studempl::2018:mylogin,otheruserlogin.....
The share definition in smb.conf:
# --------------------------------------
# shared directory for ALL staff
# --------------------------------------
[libshare]
comment = Library staff shared directory
path = /<path>
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
create mask = 0777
force create mode = 0777
directory mask = 0777
valid users = +group1 +group2 +group3 +group4 +group 5 +group6 +group7 +group8............+group17 +studempl
invalid users = +circdesk
Note: I am a member of one of the groups defined in valid users above.
I have not restarted the samba server but I don't think that would be necessary.
Actually I would like to set the permissions on the folder to be -rwxrws--- but just being able to access it would be a start. I would appreciate ang comments or suggestions.
Thank you.
