strange samba sharing problem

[adam7979]

hi,
uname -a gives
Linux fc464 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:56:33 EDT 2005 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and smbd --version gives
Version 3.0.14a-2

and smb.conf:

[global]
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	load printers = yes
	guest account = guest
	idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	null passwords = yes
	username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
	encrypt passwords = yes
	public = yes
	winbind use default domain = no
	template shell = /bin/false
	dns proxy = no
	netbios name = fc64
	cups options = raw
	writeable = yes
	server string = fcserver
	idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
	workgroup = MYGROUP
	os level = 20
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	security = share
	create mode = 777
	max log size = 50
	directory mode = 777

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = no
	writeable = yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
	printable = yes

[share]
	browseable = no
	writeable = yes
	path = /share
	guest ok = yes
	comment = SHARE
	create mode = 777
	directory mode = 777
	available = no

[carton]
	create mode = 777
	path = /carton
	directory mode = 777
	public = yes
        guest ok = yes
        writeable = yes

[smb]
	path = /etc/samba

/carton is chmod'ed 777

here's the story:

connect to samba as normal user, can go into carton share, but cannot write anything. copied a file into /carton (in linux) and it's shown from windwos machine. When tried to delete the file, windows gives no response (just like a file is deleted normally) but the file actually remains there. SELinux is disabled as well.....

any idea please??


thanks

When you copy the file using the linux filesystem, you wont attach the same permissions and ownership to it that you would from samba. Check the file permissions for what you copied in, and see if the person using samba has permissions to delete it.

hi sorry and thanks for you reply
it turns out that my friend did not follow my instructions and turning selinux off actually solves the problem

thanks again
