  • Trouble with file permissions on samba share.. file creation mask, etc.

    I'll do my best to explain this. Let me know if any other information is needed. Full disclosure; I am using Centrify to integrate this system into Active Directory. 

     

    This is my smb.conf file: 

     

    [global]
        security = ADS
        realm = child.root.pri
        workgroup = CHILD
        netbios name = server
    
        auth methods = guest, sam, winbind, ntdomain
        machine password timeout = 0
        passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb
    
        #
        #   Using kerberos keytab may lead to a serious samba crash.
        #   Centrify recommends against using it.
        #   Kerberos authentication is still supported without it.
        #
        use kerberos keytab = No
    
        # If your samba server only serves to Windows systems, try server signing = mandatory.
        server signing = auto
    
        template shell = /bin/bash
    
        winbind use default domain = Yes
    
        winbind enum users = No
        winbind enum groups = No
        winbind nested groups = Yes
    
        ignore syssetgroups error = No
        idmap uid = 1000 - 200000000
        idmap gid = 1000 - 200000000
    
        enable core files = false
        #  Disable Logging to syslog, and only write log to Samba standard log files.
        syslog = 0
    
    [datasets]
            path = /datasets
            comment = ETL Datasets
            read only = no
            public = no
            write list = +ETL_DataStage_Admin +ETL_DataStage_User KingZing

     

    If user1 creates a file in the datasets share, user2 cannot change it. 

     

    KingZing goes to the share and creates test.txt - permissions are as follows. 

    -rwxr--r-- 1 KingZing KingZing    0 Jul 28 08:02 test.txt

     

    So no other users can edit/change/delete that file... and that's now what we want. :( 

     

    What do I need to adjust?
