This is an Ubuntu 19.04 system, with Samba v4.10. there is no problem.īut without these modules I loose support for fruit:time machine for Mac backup purposes, and fruit:aapl, an extension which 'enhances several deficiencies when connecting from Macs' ( man vfs fruit). If I remove the modules vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr from smb.conf, then the permissions of files/folders created from Macs match that of those created from Windows - ie. $ getfacl on such a directory tells me # file: OurShare/testfile I tried this article Compiling SAMBA 4 file-sharing server on Mac OS-X High Sierra but got an error on the configure step. However a directory created from a Mac gets drwxr-xr-x+, so they are not writable by the group and that is the main problem here. 1 I want to install a Samba server on my Mac. Valid users = has 2770 permissions: ls -al /storage/OurShareĭrwxrws- adminuser office 4096 Oct 22 03:56įrom a Windows machine, any new directory created in OurShare gets drwxrws-, as expected. Server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) My setup is the following: Client with macOS Big Sur Home networking with an internal custom domain Server with Ubuntu 20.04.2 Storage located in a ZFS pool Stock Samba 4.11.6 avahi-daemon 0.7 Samba The first thing to set up would be Samba. Without the vfs objects modules set, permissions are as expected. I've tried a number of combinations of force createand create masks, and also (as in the example below) inherit permissions Permissions are not inherited, and masks are not respected with these vfs objects set. I wanted to leverage the latest enhancements in Samba 4 when it comes to performance with Macs, and TimeMachine support, so I enabled the modules vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr Problem Everyone should have access to the shares using dedicated user accounts. I'm setting up a NAS with a Samba share for our office, which is a 50/50 macOs/Windows 10 shop. TLDR With vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr in my smb.conf, files created on the shares using Macs do not inherit permissions and get extended ACLs.
