Topic: How to on Share permissions

[Henrik]

Hello

I want to accomplish the following:

1. Setup a common Network drive for all user
2. Everybody should have read/write permissions in all folders and files

What i have done so far:

1. Created an iBay
2. set Everyone as group
3. set user access to Write: Group - Read: group
4. Mapped the drive in netlogon.bat

this gives me the following:

1. All users can read/write in the root folder
2. When a user creates a folder on root level, only this user can access this folder which is what I DON'T want! I want all users to be able to read/write ALL folders on this drive.

This is very easy on a windows server, but it should be possible on linux with Samba too?

What can I do, or what did I do wrong? Plz help...

.. you need to tell Samba that you want the permissions on this iBay to be different to the (secure) default.

In the /etc/smb.conf file you will find a section that has the name of your iBay.  If you set a few values in here (by using a template fragment of course) it will force Samba to behave how you want; see http://au1.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch08.html on creation masks for your options.
