Home Folder Bug

[iamgav]

Hello.

I've noticed that only "admin" has write access to the "homes" folder. In spite of any privileges I set up for other users.
Also, users don't have write privilege over their own "home" folder.

Other folders work perfectly, according to privileges I have set up.

If anyone else has had a similar experience, or some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks
Gav

Hi

Look at your settings in both "Users" and "Group"

I have set the rights for standard group "users" so they only have R/W to a public folder rest is off limits.

So my best guess is the settings in those to configurations.

"normal" user (non-admin-users) should NOT have any rights on homes share. homes is the central share for all users homedirectory and therefore only admin should have been granted access on it.
Normal users sohuld have write access to home, which represents the home directory of the respective user. You should therefore check the ACL given in the filesystem on the users home. For example if the user in question is called USER then his/her home should be /volume1/homes/USER (this path can only be accessed via CLI)
The easiest way is to make your user owner of the directory and remove all rights for others than your user.

Code: Select all

chown -R USER /volume1/homes/USER && chmod -R 0700 /volume1/homes/USER


the command above should set the ACL correclty for a home directory.

Thanks for the replies.

I checked the ownership of the various home folders, and each folder was assigned to a different user. I think this happened when I migrated from a ds509+ to the new ds1511+.
I think I'll report it as a bug.

Thanks again guys.
