When using cygwin to access a samba share residing on a linux host, I
get things like the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ???????? ???????? 13K Sep 7 2010 foo
drwxr-xr-x 1 ???????? ???????? 0 Apr 26 2009 bar/
Logging into the box directly shows this instead:
-rw-r--r-- 1 ryanjohn ryangrp 13108 2010-09-07 05:39 foo
drwxr-xr-x 2 ryanjohn ryangrp 4 2009-04-26 15:24 bar/
The corresponding uid/gid are 2680/10099.
The main annoyance is that everything is read-only, even though I own
the files. I remember a long time ago being able to mount a samba share
under linux and telling it what uid/gid to use for unrecognized owners,
but I can't remember the magic incantation or find it on Google; plus,
I'm not sure it would work in cygwin anyway, since the mount utilities
are totally different.
Ideas?
Read the manual / help :
$ mkpasswd --help
...
-U,--unix userlist additionally print UNIX users when using -l
or -L
on a UNIX Samba server
...
`mkpasswd` and `mkpasswd -l -U0-20000' produce the same output (neither
includes the SMB user); the drive is mapped in Windows as z: and I can
also access it directly from the cygwin prompt.
same for SAMBA/CIFS, /usr/lib/smb.conf :
guest account = nobody
Just to be clear, that's supposed to be on my cygwin (guest) side? I
thought that file controlled the server's behavior... and I don't have
admin rights on the server side.
