Possible permissions problem and home user directory about samba HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, I think you should try to change the permissions of your folder to rwxrwx---(i.e. 770)

For directories, execute permission allows you to enter the directory (i.e., cd into it), and to access any of its files.

I used the following command to simulate that your scenario is writable to a file

$ ls -alh .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root   root   4.0K Dec  2 21:41 .
drwx------ 11 root   root   4.0K Dec  2 22:40 ..
drwxrwx---  4 jayson jayson 4.0K Dec  2 21:41 data

$ id -u jayson
1000

$ docker run -d -p 139:139 -p 445:445 \
  -e TZ=Europe/Paris \
  -v `pwd`/data:/data \
  elswork/samba:3.2.7 \
  -u "1000:1000:victor:victor:nice" \
  -u "1001:1000:bob:victor:bobpwd" \
  -s "Config:/data:rw:victor,bob"

Ah yes, that should be a solutiuon. I'm not able to test it on my own setup since I started using crazy-max/docker-samba. But I assume this will work. Thanks.

I've tested this command to escape the homes share and it seems to do the trick:

sed -i '/\[homes\]/,/writable/ s/^/;/' /etc/samba/smb.conf

Regarding the permissions issue, when I set the group owner of the files to users (GID 100) on the host filesystem and manually add my user bob to this group within the container with groupadd bob users, bob can also edit the files. So how would I be able to do this with the way the container works at the moment?
