From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/7.50 (Windows NT 5.0; U) [en] Description of problem: The following share: [data] path = /home/data guest ok = no browseable = no read only = yes write list = @datarw directory mask = 0750 create mask = 0640 force user = data force group = datausers should be: inaccessible for "the world" readable by any valid user writeable by members of "datarw" all users accessing this share are members of the group "datausers", the read/write users are members of "datarw", too. all files and directories in the share have the same permissions like defined in directory/create mask: -rw-r----- 1 data datausers 444807 Feb 2 00:05 somefile drwxr-x--- 2 data datausers 392 May 20 11:02 somedirectory This setup behaved as expected for years starting with redhat 6.x (and the corresponding samba version)up to fedora core 1 with samba-3.0.2-7.FC1. in 3.0.4 it seems, that "force user" and/or "write list" is ignored, as the share is not writeable anymore. Downgrade to 3.0.2 "fixed" the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.4-1.FC1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install samba-3.0.2 with security=user and the described share 2. Try to write to the share -> works 3. Upgrade to samba-3.0.4 -> no write access Actual Results: no write access to the share Expected Results: being able to write to the shared folder Additional info:
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.
Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. Many changes have occurred since these older releases. Please install a supported version of Fedora Core and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Thanks!
