Hello all,
I have been struggling with a permission issue with Samba for over a week
now. I've tried many different setup, without much success.
I am using samba 3.6 on Arch Linux. The user I am testing with is a member
of the group nobody.
I have a share defined as it :
security = share
[public]
path = /home/smbshare
public = yes
only guest = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0775
force create mode = 0775
The permissions on my *smbshare* folder (and the files within) are :
drwxrwsr-x 10 nobody nobody 4096 Jun 5 17:35 smbshare
When I am using Dolphin (KDE) to browse my share, everything is working as
expected. I do not have to enter a pwd and I can create, rename, delete
without any problems.
For instance if I go to :
smb://127.0.0.1/public/Pictures/
And create a file with Dolphin, the permissions are exactly what I want :
-rwxrwxr-x 1 nobody nobody 2 May 20 16:33 test-dolphin.txt
Now, I want to *mount the folder in my user home directory.* I am not using
Dophin anymore, I do everything from the terminal.
$ sudo mount -t cifs //127.0.0.1/public/Pictures /home/myuser/Pictures/
$ cd Pictures/
$ touch test-konsole.txt
touch: cannot touch `test-konsole.txt': Permission denied
*But the file is created anyway*... with the incorrect permissions
(rwxr-xr-x instead of rwxrwxr-x)
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody nobody 0 Aug 28 19:01 test-konsole.txt
So what am I missing here ? Could it be related to this problem ?
