Hi Guys, Having a little trouble. I’ve been designing rules for my automation, and I’ve been getting tired of editing in nano, because it takes forever to figure out which functions to use. So I’ve decided to start using eclipse home designer. This software works great! I’m just having one minor ob…

[image] "openhab" user owner of Configurations causing problems for Designer? Beginners The only change I ever made to that section was: security = USER The only password I did set up was sudo smbpasswd -a pi This always has worked fine (reading and writing)…

That’s probably because openhab wants to own /etc/openhab2. I modded permissions for the folder to see if pi was able to edit it, but it was not. I changed the owner back to openhab:openhab. tried forcing user and group. Also tried forcing directory mode 2775 but it just won’t give me read& write p…

I’m starting to think I need to add the samba daemon to the sudo’ers file or something like that. I think the pi is not giving samba full access. Why? Because even when I connect to samba using the openhab user I don’t get write permissions.

[image] dikkedimi: because openhab wants to own /etc/openhab2 Nope. [image] dikkedimi: starting to think I need to add the samba daemon to the sudo’ers file or something like that That will not make a difference. Samba doesn’t know how to use sudo. Did you think about using openHABia…

Thanks for the tip on openhabian, but as I have invested many hours in my current pi configuration I prefer keeping that the way it is. Furthermore, it shouldn’t make that much of a difference. I use raspbian, which should also run samba just fine as it’s also based on debian. Maybe I used the wron…

You can use the openhabian-config tool on an existing debian/ubuntu installation. If your system is a standard raspbian, there shouldn’t be an issue. Give it a try, then select samba and see what happens. http://docs.openhab.org/installation/openhabian.html#manual-setup You can also check out the …

From the documentation. http://docs.openhab.org/installation/linux.html#network-sharing Make sure that whatever user you’re using to connect to the share with also has read/write access to the files on the pi. e.g. “ls -l” Just setting the Samba ACL level will not do any good if the filesystem is…

Does seem to be a raspi bug. I reinstalled samba, after purging it I tried logging in as user pi, couldn’t write. I also tried to log in as user openhab, also couldn’t write. I used the openhabian smb.cnf file, disabled all shares but /etc/openhab2, no success. Tried using netatalk (AFP), same iss…

Have you checked the actual permissions on your configuration folder? ls -l /etc/openhab2 It may be worth just resetting the ownership on the entire folder just so that you know it’s at a consistent state. sudo chown -R openhab:openhab /etc/openhab2 There are two sets of permissions you have to …

[image] dikkedimi: Does seem to be a raspi bug FWIW, I use Samba with an RPi 3 and a Mac client with no problems. I don’t have time at the moment to review exactly how I configured but I think I just followed the instructions on openhab docs site.

[SOLVED] Pi + Samba, access from mac
