Share permission

I create a “Media” Share on the NAS,   the CIFS panel shows its default access as Read/Write.  I also have the allow   [x ] Guest access option checked.

After non thing was working I also set the advance CIFS permissions to

                [x] Automatically set permission on new files and folder on

                                [x] Do not allow ACL changes to be more restrictive than this.  On .         

                                 Read/rights for groups and everyone.

 

I was surprise to be asked for user name and password when viewing the share via windows when GUEST OPTION is checked.

 

 

My other issues issue that I am getting permission denied errors when I mount the share on another system.

 

How can I fix both these issues?  The password prompting and the permission denied, they may be related. But not really sure.

 

Thanks for the assistance.

    By default, Windows will present the windows log on/password to the NAS.  If there is a credential stored in the credential manager that will be presented.

     

    There are three cases:

     

    (a) the presented logon does not match a NAS account.

    In this case, the PC gets "guest access"

     

    (b) The presented logon matches a NAS account, and the password does also.

    In this case the PC gets whatever access the NAS account allows.

     

    (c) The presented logon matches a NAS account, but the password does not.

    In this case, the logon fails, and you get prompted for a logon/password.

    How are you mounting the share?

     

    Is this happening on all files, or just some folders and files.

      I am mounting the share via fstab, 

       

      //192.168.101.3/Media /mnt/NasOne cifs username=USER1,password=PASSWORD1,rw,iocharset=utf8,uid=1004,gid=1004 0 0

       

      1 – Create USER1 on NAS and change UID to match on both systems. (Same user name, Same Password)


      2- Mount NAS Share as USER1 (Working)

      3 – Check write permission on Mounted NAS Volume. Working, with read/Write

      4 – Checked permission of the Downloaded file to make sure it was R/W

      5 – Checked the service to make sure it is running as the same user
      “USER1 1128 0.4 0.2 1731016 40376 ? Sl 08:08 0:02 /usr/bin/python CouchPotato.py --quiet --daemon --pid_file=/home/USER1/.couchpotato/couchpotato.pid –dat”

      6 – Checked the mount premonition with the mount command
      “//192.168.101.3/Media on /mnt/NasOne type cifs (rw)”[/list]

       

      When folders are create with the user1 account they are created with no write permission.

       

      What I am I missing?  ARGGGGG!!!!     Thank you for the assistance.
