I have a Ubuntu 10.04 desktop VM that is running torrent software, and it is saving the files to a samba share (which is actually the host it is running on). I have also tested from another Ubuntu box on the network and it experiences the same problem.
The problem I am having is that any torrent client on a Ubuntu machine or VM can't save to the samba share, but a WinXP torrent client can download the same torrent and save to the share with no problem.
I created a public share, and the problem seems to be that I cannot edit files after I create them. It seems that samba is ignoring the create mask and creating files as rw-r--r-- instead of rw-rw-rw-
I even tried adding the "unix extensions = yes" option and that didn't seem to work either.
[global]
# map any unknown username to nobody so login succeeds, don't forget to run:
# smbpasswd -an nobody
# so that it will work!
guest account = nobody
map to guest = bad user
security = share
[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /public
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
read only = no
browsable = yes
guest only = yes
create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777
