samba writable = no/yes issue

[sgtfoo]

Hey there,

Wanted to document an issue I hit while connecting to shares from both windows and ubuntu on my HDA.

After going through the permissions checks..

Code: Select all

sudo chmod -R 775 /var/hda/files sudo chown -hR username /var/hda/files

I found that something else was stopping me from adding directories to certain shares. Noticing it was based on shares, it seems there may be a bug in how the Amahi Dashboard builds the smb.conf
I looked at my smb.conf (found at /etc/samba/smb.conf) and it turns out that the problematic shares had the property

Code: Select all

writable = no

set to no instead of yes, so I changed it to be

Code: Select all

writable = yes

on all my shares and lo and behold, access is as it should be, and still restricted between users.

Is this a bug??
