[Bug 268663] Re: files incoming through nautilus-share should be created with user ownership, instead of "nobody"

[rduke15]

The solution for this problem ( copied from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678834#20 ):

The filesystem permissions of a fully publicly shared directory (i.e.
~/Public) has to be drwxrwsrwx.

   chmod a+rwx ~/public
   chmod g+s ~/public

And /etc/samba/smb.conf has to contain the  line

   inherit permissions = yes

in the [global] section.

Title:
  files incoming through nautilus-share should be created with user
  ownership, instead of "nobody"

Status in nautilus-share:
  Fix Released
Status in samba:
  Won't Fix
Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus-share

  Steps to reproduce
  1- Create a usershare with nautilus (say, ~/Public)
  2- From another computer, send a file to this share

  The file will have ownership to user "nobody" and group "nogroup",
  instead of the userś ownership and starting group. This makes it
  inconvenient to modify these files, especially since there's no easy
  way to change ownership of files and folders (one has to know about
  the nautilus-gksu package, which is not installed by default).
