Topic: ibay folder acces denied

[Apte]

Hello,
I'm currently testing SME server ( due to disappointment with support and follow-up of Xandros server...) as alternative to Win server ( beurk ! ).

Installation ok, quick and fast.
Create domain-> OK
Create users and group -> OK

Registrate Win XP workstation OK
Opening XP session with logged user OK

Read / Write create directory on user private directory OK

But now !
All users can read and open files of th ibay/files directory ( after the file has been manually created by command line )
NONE of them can write nor create directory on it.

status of directory :

drwxr-s---  2  admin   shared ..............

Why ?
I searched few time on this forum before to post this, but I didn't find any post about (nor in French ).
I'm more or less sure that this problem is....stupid.

Thank for help,

Philippe

Looks like you've choosed admin as group owner of the ibay . You have to choose which group is the owner, and which permissions they have on the ibay.

If you need more flexible permissions, you can take a look at the shared-folders contrib: http://wiki.contribs.org/SharedFolders

Thank you for this quick answer.
In the meantime I look forward and..... in fact this is the case with the "Primary" share....
It's now OK ( I was sure I was stupid !! )

Two question anyway :
1. is there a way to remove cgi-bin,html and Primary directories from the Windows browse ? (or can I delete unused directories ? )
2. I also had a look to SharedFolder package but is it confident and reliable for a production server by customer ?

You cannot remove it, but you can hide it:

Code: [Select]

db account setprop Primary Browseable no
signal-event ibay-modify Primary

2. I also had a look to SharedFolder package but is it confident and reliable for a production server by customer ?

Well, I use it on several production servers without any problem for some months now. But of course, you should try it first before putting it in production.
