[Samba] Force Create Mode Problems

Rowland,

Thanks for your input.  Per your suggestions, I have changed the global options in my configuration:

[global]
netbios name = FS04
workgroup = RSC
server string = Samba Server Version %v
security = ads
realm = AD.RINGSIDECREATIVE.COM
use sendfile = true
idmap config * : backend = tdb
idmap config * : range = 200000-299999
idmap config RSC : backend = rid
idmap config RSC : range = 100000-199999
winbind separator = +
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind use default domain = yes
winbind refresh tickets = yes
restrict anonymous = 2
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50

I then reloaded the samba service (systemctl restart smb)  However, I still get the same problems when creating a file from a windows machine.

I appreciate the suggestion about using Windows ACLs.  However, I think that doing so would also require a reengineering of the FTP side of this server.  I'd like for the server to function without the use of Windows ACLs, if possible.

Are there any logs that I can provide that will assist with troubleshooting this issue?  I have looked through the logs in /var/log/samba, but I haven't found very much useful information.

Let me know.  Thanks.

I would like it to force 0766 to the share, its subdirectories, and the files created within.  However, when I look at a file that was created from a windows machine, these are the permissions that I see:

Wouldn't you be better setting the permissions from windows ?

See here for more info:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Shares_with_Windows_ACLs

Having said that, there are a couple of things in your smb.conf that I think you need to look at. Do you really understand what you have set in 'socket options' ? are you sure you need this line ?

Second thing is a definite problem, you have:

idmap config * : range = 100000-199999

and:

idmap config RSC : range = 100000-199999

These ranges are not supposed to overlap, never mind overlap, both your ranges are exactly the same, you need to change one.
