Samba Problem

[Carl Yost Jr.]

LOL nevermind I think I was able mto fix it. Ofcourse after I send out the e-mail it dawns on me. I set the security on the top folder to 770. Now the non owner/group can see the folder, but can not access it now. Hopefully that will fix everything :D.

>Ok here is my issue :). We have a couple programs we run off the server, both database programs. Even while running off our Novell server, if the users didn't have full blown access to the directory the program will error on them. Which was no big deal, only users under Mas90 in Novell could see the folder anyways. Problem is now we try it under Linux, and are having issues. If I had the security set to 770 they wouldn't get any errors, but the files would not update for them. Basically it didn't work with that security level. Mas90 was the group for the folder also. So I made the security 777, which started working right away for everybody, files updated, everything worked again just like in Novell. Valid users are set to the adm, and mas90 group. So I am think all good I am back to the way it was under Novell. The folder is not browsable or public. I decided to login as a non adm/mas90 user. Also in samba I have security set to 770 thinking samba will lock out anyone that!

>is not the owner or in the group. Well I log in as that user, I can get to the mas90 folder by \\servername\share, have full access to the folder, even though I am not owner or in the group. Can add/modify/delete. Did miss something here? No matter what security I set in samba if the Linux security itself is wide open samba can not lock them out? Any information is greatlyt appreciated.
