But I am having permission troubles with a share that I have created.

My folder structure looks like this:

../.sharedfiles (this is the root directory for clamfs)
../sharedfiles (this is the actual shared folder on the server that my windows clients connect to).

When clamfs is NOT running, I can create and delete folders etc within ../sharedfiles from a windows client.

But when I turn clamfs ON I can only create files and folder immediately within ../sharedfiles.

ie I can create ../sharedfiles/newdirectory

But I can not create ../sharedfiles/newdirectory/somefile

I have played around with the permissions and ACLs but something is just not working.
I should mention that the windows clients are logging into the shared directory without a user. ie they are”nobody” and in the “nogroup” group.

I have set the ACL for both .sharedfiles and sharedfiles as below:

getfacl .sharedfiles/
# file: .sharedfiles/
# owner: administrator
# group: administrator
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:user:clamav:rwx
default:group::rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::rwx

———-

getfacl sharedfiles/
# file: sharedfiles/
# owner: administrator
# group: administrator
user::rwx
group::rwx
other::rwx
default:user::rwx
default:user:clamav:rwx
default:group::rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::rwx

This is how I have configured my clamfs .xml file:

filesystem root=”/home/administrator/.sharedfiles” mountpoint=”/home/administrator/sharedfiles” public=”yes” readonly=”no” nonempty=”yes”

Any idea on where I am going wrong? I would really like to get this working. Thanks.

I didn’t test with samba, yet, but in case you can provide any smb.conf and so on, I should be delighted.
