I mount this share on a client:
[users]
comment = home folders inherit acls = Yes path = /home read only = No
using this:
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.2/users /home -o rw,setuid
I then login as a user on the client authenticated via ldap. No problem. It takes me to the mounted folder and I can see my files. When I create a file it creates it as owner root:root. Not what I want!
How can I create files on the mount as user:group no matter who logs in? Thanks. L x
I fought this battle some years ago, and the problem, as best I can recall was that the normal cifs mount of a samba share would have the client trying to set permissions and uids. This only works when uids are matched among all workstations (the NFS mindset).
I found it necessary to force the mount commands to not allow the local workstation to attempt to manage permissions and UIDs of files it creates on a server share.
I believe the noperm and nosetuids parameters were the key to this, but that was at a site which I no longer manage, so I can't check on this for you. Man mount.cifs sees to suggest this is the approach needed to allow the samba server to manage permissions and ownership.
Thanks. I tried mounting with the nosetuids and noperm but still I get root:root ownership. The thing is, the [homes] share ought to do this without me doing anything according to the stuff I've read. Anyway, will join the samba list and see what they say.
