[SOLVED] Permisions to samba share in home directory

Kamil_ · #1 27th July 2011, 01:54 PM

Hi there!
I have got few samba shares. All of them are on location either /media/disk/.. or /home/kamil/... I can't access these in home directory, there is alert "Failed to mount windows share". So my question is, what system permissions should I set to shares on home directory?

Here are my settings for two shares, 2nd share one is working well and 1st doesn't:

Code:

[root@galadriel kamil]# ls -la /home/kamil/ | grep Desktop
drwxr-xr-x.   2 kamil kamil      4096 Jul 14 12:15 Desktop
[root@galadriel kamil]# ls -la /media/disk/ | grep Obraz
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   8192 Jul 22 14:25 Obraz

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

after setting least restrictive permission 777 to /home/kamil/Desktop share and after chown'ing ang chgrp'ing to root I still can't access share in my home directory. Some ideas?

/media will not export via samba.

/home will not export via samba unless you set the SELinux security controls.

So why it's working now. I can access shares on my /media/...

Code:

[root@galadriel kamil]# sestatus 
SELinux status:                 disabled

Hello,

I would try just /home/USER_ID , changing to 777 is a high security risk

I've done chmod 777 only for examine reason, and it turned out that it's not permission problem.
But the problem is I don't want to share whole /home/kamil directory, but only particular subdirectories of /home/kamil.

Ok so what's so hard about that? path = /home/kamil/WhereEverItIs.

As I said before, I can't access on second fedora computer any share that is inside of home directory.

Code:

[logi]
        path = /home/kamil/logi
;       read only = yes
;       browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes

[Boot]
        path = /media/winxp/Boot
;       read only = yes
;       browseable = yes
        guest ok = yes

second is accessible, first not.

basically, it appears that you are turning off all security controls.

As far as winxp/Boot - what filesystem is it? NTFS maybe? If so, then NTFS has no security controls itself.

Solved
Don't know why, but this works well

Code:

[root@galadriel kamil]# chmod +x /home/kamil

Now I've access to all my shares. Thanks for your wasted time. :-)
