I've been bonking my head against this for 2 days. Maybe someone linuxier than me can see my error.

Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS
Samba version 4.15.13-Ubuntu
Stand Alone Server

My goals:

  • only allow authenticated users.
  • all users are members of companygroup and can Read,Write,Execute all other users creations
  • There may come a time when a directory or two needs to be locked down to a few users.

This seems like such a simple setup, yet I cannot get new files to have Write permissions for the group. Therefore, other users can't edit. Directories are working as expected.

All files end up with:

-rwxr-xr-x userthatcreatedfile companygroup ... test.txt

So user perms and other perms are good. Write perms not there for group.

[DataMount]

path = /media/DataMount

browsable = yes

guest ok = no

read only = no

write list = @companygroup

force create mode = 0775

force directory mode = 2775

I have played with all kinds of settings for Force Create Mode and the settings will affect Read and Execute bits, but not the Write bit.

I added force user = rachel, which then allowed all the users to edit, but I don't think I can setup directories that only have certain people have access because they all are acting as rachel.
