[Gllug] ACL solution to samba created unowned files?

[general_email at technicalbloke.com]

Hi,

In Ubuntu samba shares with guest write access (i.e. folders writeable
by anyone on the network even without an account) result in unowned
files being generated in said folders. When I need to edit these files
(as I do, often) I have to chown them to my user and that is getting
tedious now.

I'm sure I remember using acls to get round this isue on a machine last
year but I'm damned if I can remember exactly how I did it! I think the
trick was using an ace to make all new files created in that folder
members of a group and then make my user a member of that group. Does
that sound right / plausible ? If so, can anyone enlighten me as to the
syntax / procedure?

Cheers,

Roger.
