Move Vs Copy

Apparently, when you use MOVE or drag-n-drop in Explorer and the source dir and dest dir on the samba server are in the same filesystem, smb will essentially do a Unix mv command. Thus the file will retain the original permissions and ownership. As long as the user could write to the dir, it would ignore setguid, share modes, ACLs, etc.

We had a special directory setup to pass docs on to another group and occasionally users would forget to COPY and not MOVE the files there. I used a dnotify script on the samba server to monitor that dir and change perms when new stuff showed up. The other group could then delete the files.

       browseable = yes
       writable = yes
       directory mask = 0770
       create mask = 0770

under [share] i have the following 4 folders:

[root (at) itbox shares]# ls -l
drwxrws--- 2 root devel              4096 Jan 31 17:41 devel
drwxrws--- 3 root finance           4096 Jan 31 16:49 fin
drwxrws--- 4 root it                    4096 Jan 31 17:22 it
drwxrws--- 4 root Domain Users 4096 Jan 31 17:41 pub

as you can see each folder is owned by its group and chmod g+s is set on all
the folders to keep the group ownership to newly created folders/files

Thanks for the reply

        How is your smb.conf with regards to these shares?


        Kind regards,
