HI Folks,
I know that I am doing something stupid, but after a recent update, I
cannot create another server with this ability to edit on the server box.
Linux box (samba server)
directories:- mnt/shared/allusers
mnt/shared/lakesh
etc.
Windows 7 client
I can create and edit files on the shared directories. All good.
Linux box
I cannot edit a file created by W7 on the Linux box I receive a
permission error message.
Versions of software , (x)ubuntu 14:04 LTS & W7 professional.
This on a system that I have created to do testing, so it started as
14:04_3 which includes systemd or so I believe.
My older Samba servers did not seem to have a problem with this, but
this might be old age affecting "my" memory cells.
I believe that the problem is related to the permissions of
create mask = 0774
and
directory mask = 02775

Best Wishes
