I have shared my home folder over samba as follows: when i try to create folders from windows I get error "cant create" but folder is created. But permissions are all messed up. file is also created but permissions are messed up. As a result I am not able to open/edit these files or folders from windows. $ ls -lZ total 48 d-------w-. 2 sar sar system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 4096 May 27 02:01 'New folder' d-------w-. 2 sar sar system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 4096 May 27 02:01 'New folder (2)' d-------w-. 2 sar sar system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 4096 May 27 02:01 'New folder (3)' --------w-. 1 sar sar system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 0 May 27 02:01 'New Text Document.txt' setup process: # setsebool samba_enable_home_dirs=1 # chcon -R -t samba_share_t /home/sar cfg: [global] workgroup = mywg security = user server string = Samba Server %v netbios name = myserver map to guest = bad user passdb backend = tdbsam # interfaces = 192.168.xx.xx/255.255.255.0 # bind interfaces only = yes # Debug logging information #log level 0 none, 3=HUGE log level = 1 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.samba.log max log size = 50 debug timestamp = yes # security setup server min protocol = SMB3 # server max protocol = SMB3 # SMB3_00: Windows 8, SMB3_02: Windows 8.1, SMB3_10: early Windows 10, SMB3_11: Windows 10 default is SMB3_11 ntlm auth = yes lanman auth = no printing = cups printcap name = cups load printers = yes cups options = raw [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S read only = No inherit acls = Yes browseable = yes path = /home/%S create mask = 0644 #0002 directory mask = 0755 #002 I want users to be able to create, add/edit files and folders in their home folders freely. which should not be be accessible to others.
