Simple Samba file share, Domain Controller
Users - windows 7
I am having problems getting folder and file permissions to working
properly from the Windows clients. No setting I change in smb.conf have
any effect on files and folders created from windows clients. (I see
this kind of question a lot other places so you must be tired of it.)
Smb.conf
[GLOBAL]
force create mode = 0770
force directory mode = 0770
create mask = 0660
I don't have any create/mask statements in the share as they do not seem
to make a difference.
I am using a single large file share with sticky gid bit set (2774)
Goal: files created should have user as owner and sambashare as group
with 774 permissions.
Folders are created with 2777 and set GID
Files created with 0766
When I started working on this folders were getting created with 2740.
On the server I chmod g+rw on the share and now folders are created with
2777. (this doesn't make sense to me)
With every config change I reload the config file with (Ubuntu 16.04 lts):
sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload
