Samba server, smbmount, undesired -x perms
Posted by ostracon on Mon 12 May 2008 at 16:54
Samba server and smbmount client give me executable permission for all files on the share. How would I disable this undesired behavior?
Here is my mount syntax:
smbmount //server/share share touch share/file.txt ls -l share -rwxr-xr-x 1 user user 0 2008-05-12 16:00 file.txt
I've tried the following /etc/samba/smb.conf parameters with no success:
[global] map archive = no [share] create mask = 0660 directory mask = 0770 force create mask = 0660 force directory mode = 0770
OS and all packages are all stock standard Debian Etch/stable:
Samba server: Samba 3.0.24-6etch9 Client PC: smbfs 3.0.24-6etch9

Your filesystem is not FAT32 ? because in this case, you can't change the x perms

The Samba server filesystem is EXT3, not FAT32. And the client mount is, of course, SMBFS.
Any other ideas? Anyone? Bueller?

You could try :
smbmount //server/share share -ofmask=0660
smbmount //server/share share -ofmask=0660

Evidently the solution is to use /sbin/mount.cifs and /sbin/umount.cifs (which are both SUID by default) instead of /usr/bin/smbmount and /usr/bin/smbumount. The former provide for proper permissions, but at the cost of some higgledlies with /etc/mtab and/or /proc/mounts at unmounting.
