May 29, 201115 yr I'm so confused by all this permissions stuff. I thought I'd updated the extra-conf file to give a reasonable permission level, but then I add a 'backups' user share and thats set to -rwx-----x which gives me trouble trying to delete files from my osx machine - I don't login via finder, so I have no idea who the unRAID system sees me as? Is there a simple way to just have the folders/files all set so anyone can access them? I'm only using it for my local network files, no external access, and only me accessing them (well sometimes the rest of the family but only through front ends maintained by me - media streaming usually) I see 0644 and 0755 mentioned a lot, why don't you use 777?
May 30, 201115 yr The default permissions should work. Changing them will cause problems. Why do you want to change permissions?
May 31, 201115 yr Author because everything only seems to have RWX------- set, and I can't delete anything from my mac when browsing via finder, and sickbeard can't move any files. I got constant permissions errors. I have no idea who is the owner of a file that I copy across from my mac - is it root, or is it whatever the mac logs in as? (I think for samba shares thats 'guest' by default, its not asking me for a password anyway) sickbeard should have been installed as 'nobody' from the unmenu package but it wasn't working. people seem to adjust permissions all over the place. There is a samba button on unMENU which does something similar I think? What issues will there be if I'm just opening up permissions to group/all? I'm not lowering the permissions levels on anything? Honest question by the way - I know little about linux and samba so I'm aware I could be messing something up, but not aware why/how. All I know is it seems to be working now - sickbeard is moving files, finder lets me delete things from shares..
