I just upgraded from 4.7 to 5rc8 and I am having a smb permission problem when trying to add a directory outside the array.

 

My smb-extra.conf looks like:

 

(the "disk" mount point is the drive outside the array under /mnt)

 

[downloads]

  path = /mnt/disk/downloads/

  comment = Downloads Drive

  browseable = yes

  # Public

  public = yes

  writeable = yes

  read only = No

 

The share shows up, so I can see it from windows.

 

And the filesystem permissions on that directory have been set to "nobody users" by the permissions script within 5rc8. I get a access denied error while trying to change a file/add a file. etc

 

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Can add

Force user = nobody

Force group = users

 

To the config file

Thanks for the reply but that still doesnt seem to work, same access denied message.

 

It's like the users I've set up dont take effect in shares outside the array. It's as if I attempt to modify files in the share with a created user that differs from the nobody:users ownership. But these permissions work fine with the shares defined in the gui and through the interface.

 

 

Edit: just realized that sabnzbd saves files with 755 permissions, so I changed it to 770. Not sure if there is a way to have sabnzbd alter permissions on files and directories differently in keeping with v5 security model? 770 dirs and 660 for files?
