Very Computer

Hi all,

I installed a RedHat 7.2 box to be our Samba File server. We all have one
folder just for ourselves. At the same time, we need a public folder, in
which we can save some public files that we all need to check and modify.
So I create a partition mounted as "/public" and run "chmod 777 /public".
But when different samba users connect to *public* folder, it is found that
every user can read all the files, but they don't have right to modify the
files saved by another user. That means, if user A save a file on "/public",
user B can read it rather than modification to it.
My question is how to make this public folder REALLY "PUBLIC"?

Probably several ways.
You could use "guest only" or "force user" so all access is done using
the same user ID.
you could use "force create mode = 0777" and "force directory mode =
0777" to set the permissions for new files.
