  Hello everybody


  I've finally installed and ran Samba 3 on my FreeBSD
5.4. Then, wanting to share a directory I applyed on
directory

drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1638 Dec 30 13:58 shared
the following command (as root):

chmod -R a=rwx shared

It doesn't return error but when I look up the new
atribution it is the same. Indeed this directory is
inside a mounting point which has the same attributes
(ie the mounting operation copies the mounting point
attributtes and  then I can't change any attributes
inside the mounting point). By the way the mount is a
msdosfs type.
Can I deal with this problem? Is it a bug (so I
report) or I am doing some mistake?


Hi,

"Non-root file accesses may yield unexpected errors.
If the "file system owner" is not equal to the user who is accessing
the file system, some programs may generate unusual errors when
modifying or creating files. This happens because all files that are
created on the MS-DOS FS are implicitly chowned to the file system
owner. Work-around: only the user who owns the file system should
have write permission for it."

...so if you need to have access under some user then you have to mount it into dir where this user is an owner. It is obvious because MSDOS FS (FAT) doesn't support multiple users.

I've also performed a Windows XP to FreeBSD transfer
via Network using Samba. The transfer made useless all
the archives involved (some mp3). I shared a  full
access share on FreeBSD and then copied and paste on
the XP station the files. Then on FreeBSD they were
useless. Can anybody tell what happened?
