Hi all...
I'm running Mac OS X Server 10.4.8. I'm trying to export a share point via NFS to two types of linux clients: Red Hat (Fedora) and OpenSuse. When I mount the NFS export on the two clients, I'm finding inconsistencies in permissions handling. Specifically:
1. Red Hat client - when file and folders are created, they have POSIX permissions of owner: read/write, group: read/write, others: read only
2. Suse Client - files and folders are created with owner: read/ write, group: read only, everyone: read only.
What I really want is for all three (owner, group, and everyone) to have read and write access to the share and to have all files/folders created in that share to have the read/write for all permissions. I am controlling access to the shares via IP address restrictions.
Are there any command switches that I need to have on the Linux clients to ensure that the proper permissions are set on created/ copied files and folders?
Thank in advance.
The default umask for Suse is 022 - i.e. every file you create will have rw-r--r-- permissions. If you need to change this default behavior, change your proifile's umask. Another solution - you do not care to know who (what user) have created the file, then you can set your exports file to map all requests either to nobody:nobody or specifically created user on the server. man exports - and look for all_squash and anonuid and anongid options.
