/var/lib/samba/usershares needs to have these permissions and ownership: Access: (1770/drwxrwx--T) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 113/sambashare)
i.e. chmod 1770 /var/lib/samba/usershare chown root:sambashare /var/lib/samba/usershares And this is done when the package is installed: if [ ! -e /var/lib/samba/usershares ] then install -d -m 1770 -g sambashare /var/lib/samba/usershares fi If you or some tool changed it afterwards, a package reinstallation will NOT change it. ** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894804 Title: 255 cannot create tmp file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/894804/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
