I'm trying to setup a samba server on my raspberry pi.
I installed samba and made some modifications to smb.conf which I found in various YouTube videos or blog articles.
$ testparm /etc/samba/smb.conf
results to
[global]
server role = standalone server
map to guest = Bad User
obey pam restrictions = Yes
syslog = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
dns proxy = No
idmap config * : backend = tdb
[DATA]
comment = SHARED_DATA
path = /media/data
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
I created a new user account and also used this username for smbpasswd.
I can find DATA in my network but I can't access it. The reason for this I can't really find out. The error messages I get just say that I am not able to connect.
What I found out. Before mounting the permissions are as follows:
$ ls -l /media/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 Dec 28 20:03 data
Then I execute
sudo mount -t auto -o umask=0000,gid=0,uid=0 /dev/sda1 /media/data/
0 maps to root, just to try it out. And with umask everything should be allowed for everybody, right?
But after mounting $ ls -l /media/ results to
drwx------ 2 pi pi 262144 Jan 1 1970 data
pi was the first user on raspberry pi. What confuses me is that the permissions are so strict as well as the owner is not root and the date is set to Jan 1 1970.
Does anybody know what is the problem here and can help me?
Reinstalling everything was the solution for me
