How do I mount a CIFS share via FSTAB and give full RW to Guest
- by Kendor
I want to create a Public folder that has full RW access. The problem with my configuration is that Windows users have no issues as guests (they can RW and Delete), my Ubuntu client can't do the same. We can only write and read, but not create or delete.
Here is the my smb.conf from my server:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = FILESERVER
server string = TurnKey FileServer
os level = 20
security = user
map to guest = Bad Password
passdb backend = tdbsam
null passwords = yes
admin users = root
encrypt passwords = true
obey pam restrictions = yes
pam password change = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -m '%u' -g users -G users
delete user script = /usr/sbin/userdel -r '%u'
add group script = /usr/sbin/groupadd '%g'
delete group script = /usr/sbin/groupdel '%g'
add user to group script = /usr/sbin/usermod -G '%g' '%u'
guest account = nobody
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
max log size = 1000
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
[homes]
comment = Home Directory
browseable = no
read only = no
valid users = %S
[storage]
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
browseable = yes
comment = Public Share
writeable = yes
public = yes
path = /srv/storage
The following FSTAB entry doesn't yield full R/W access to the share.
//192.168.0.5/storage /media/myname/TK-Public/ cifs rw 0 0
This doesn't work either
//192.168.0.5/storage /media/myname/TK-Public/ cifs rw,guest,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,noperm 0 0
Using the following location in Nemo/Nautilus w/o the Share being mounted does work:
smb://192.168.0.5/storage/
Extra info. I just noticed that if I copy a file to the share after mounting, my Ubuntu client immediately make "nobody" be the owner, and the group "no group" has read and write, with everyone else as read-only.
What am I doing wrong?
