I can't believe no one here is using password protected folders.
I sent d-link an email of my problem, but still no answers.

More progress

I just added telnet to my device just to be able to change file permissions. It was easier than I thought and now I'm seeing all the potential of this device.

Back to my problem, it seams it has something to do with the group I created, so I deleted the group and put back my users without groups, and it seams to have somewhat helped for now.

since my files lost some permission, is there a way to give back all permissions to all of my files in one shot using telnet?

Will this work (I am new to linux command line):
chmod -R 777 /mnt/HD_a2/
chown -R nobody:501 /mnt/HD_a2/

do I need to set the owner and the group like I mentioned above?


here is an example of some files that lost permissions:

I'm "glad" to see it is not an isolated problem for me.

I have an open case with D-link support, they are working on it.

The more of you that report the problem to d-link, the quicker we should get a fix.

Eric.

The thread is 1 month old, but I am hitting the same problem everyday and managed to find here.

It is true that some files are having 0700 permission and owned by nobody.501 which makes it impossible for others to access with their id.

1) I use telnet using fun_plug and use this command to list such files:-

find /mnt/HD_a2 -perm 700 | grep -v "/\."

2) I use this script to fix them to 0777:-

find /mnt/HD_a2 -perm 700 | grep -v "/\." | sed -e 's/\ /\\ /g' | sed -e 's/\/mnt/chmod -c a=rwx \/mnt/' > /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/log/_chmod_

sh /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/log/_chmod_

rm -f /mnt/HD_a2/fun_plug.d/log/_chmod_

Very crude, but it works. "chmod a=rwx `find ....`" stuff can't work due to the command line length limitation.

3) I wish to find out if you have any problem of inserting a statement in the smb.conf file manually, especially from the web config interface.

When I made a small change on smb.conf file manually from telnet, the web interface displayed total nonsense. At one point, it screwed up the total config and I had to press the 'reset' button.

Thanks for the -exec option. It works asexpected on dns-323.

It is dns-323 which sets ALL shared files and directories 0777 by the smb.conf. For some reason some files are changed to 0700 and this keeps other users with different user id from accessing the file.

It happens a lot of times and I need to fix them to 0777 to allow users to access. I have yet to try the oplocks option suggested by tedlegrand, but I am concerned because my previous experiment with manual editing of smb.conf which bricked my dns-323.

I just managed to download the new 1.04b firmware and I hope this may help.

-- dj

I'm running samba with the manually edited oplocks command for about one month now, and I have no problem with the admin interface.

Removing oplocks helped, as it is less frequent that files turn to 0700 permission, but I am still stuck having to give back permissions once in a while.

is it possible to have a script that runs every couple of hours to put all permissions to 0777?

does the firmware 1.4b still have this issue?

HaydnH:
I was moving between web admin interface and telnet doing manual modification of smb.conf file. Since I was doing 1 line at a time, I didn't see the need to make a copy. When I add a line to the conf file manually, the web interface turned out meaningless configuration. I had a few share given to group, but they are all changed to the valid_users. There must be another file keeping web config which will be converted to smb.conf file. The reverse direction doesn't seem to be working. Adding a user to the valid_users list created havoc.

Along the way pulling in and out, the dns-323 suddenly stopped responding and I wasn't able to continue both web session and telnet. After resetting it, I couldn't find it in the network. I sniffed the network packet through the dns-323, but no activity at all. The only way to bring to life was pressing the reset button.

tedlegrand:
Mine (1.03) has crond is running but I became a paranoid after being bitten badly from the manual editing and not confident to do so again. If I need, I may just put a cron entry to a linux box nearby and do it via telnet session using nc.

-- dj

I just installed the firmware 1.4beta which has samba v3.0.24 (smbd -V), hoping it will solve my permission denied problem on excel files, but it didn't quite solve it.

First thing I noticed, is that i have over 200 files that are no longer accessible because I had some non english characters in the filenames.

Should I do something to reset the samba config, or reset the file permission?

Is there a way to fix the non english characters automatically instead of renaming the files one by one?

Can you post the contents of your smb.conf?

I haven't upgraded to 1.04 so don't know if that fixes the problem or not, but I did the following and it fixed it for me.

From a WinXP machine I cut the affected files from the DNS-323 and pasted them to my XP machine.  Deleted the files from the DNS, then copied them from XP back to the DNS and now they are all accessable again.

Hope this helps.
