Samba create mask not working

Hi all,
I'm setting up a file server for my college. The biggest problem I've had so far is that in samba, the create mask options do nothing! Files create with default permissions of rw for the owner, then r for everyone else. That's system wide though, and I'm pretty sure that's normal. Here's my smb.conf:
#Global Parameters
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = temp
server string = TSR file server
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
security = user
guest account = user
map to guest = Bad Password
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
invalid users = root bin daemon adm sync shutdown halt mail news uucp operator
admin users = admin
valid users = admin user
create mask = 777
directory mask = 777
[movies]
path = /mnt/shared/movies
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
public = Yes
browseable = Yes
[music]
path = /mnt/shared/music
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
public = Yes
browseable = Yes
[games]
path = /mnt/shared/games
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
[tv]
path = /mnt/shared/tv
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
[essentials]
path = /mnt/shared/essentials
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
browseable = Yes
read list = student
According to the create/directory mask options, any file should create with 777 (rwx for all). Yet it does nothing and creates with the standard as discussed above. 'User' owns all the folders that samba hosts. I've been tearing my hair out over this one; if anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Hi Abecedarian,
try to move "create mask" and "directory mask" options in the share section and change permissions from
777 to 0777

  • Mask not working correctly?

    Hi every one!
    I have this problem with my mask not working properly, i have an image, and it has an red fruit sitting on a table,
    i have to make the picture sepia using an adjustment layer ( my lecturer says it MUST be done that way)
    but leaving the fruit as red as possible. So when i do this i MUST use the layer mask provided by the
    adjustment layer, but what is happening is the orange is going a very faded red ( but not quite sepia), the table BG does go sepia..
    so its KIND OF working but not really.
    Cheers

    Check your mask by OPTION CLICKING on the mask icon on the specific layer. This will show you a greyscale mask. BLACK hides, WHITE REVEALS. SO obviously grey does half of each! So if you dont want the apple to be affected by the layer mask you  must paint it BLACK in the mask of that adjustment layer.

  • (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

    Hi I'm using PP 2014 on Yosemite. Anyone notice (three-way color corrector) secondary color correction masks not working?

    strange. same stats here but im getting intermittent.... sometimes i can use the mask and the effect is only limited to the masked area. most of the time the masked area is ignored and the effect is applied to the whole image

  • Help - Simple mask not working in Flash CS4

    Hi everyone,
    Thanks for taking a minute to read my post.
    I am creating a very simple mask using motion tweening. I created some text on a layer and made it a masked layer. Then I created a mask layer which consists of a circle that will span across the text. When I play the movie the circle does not show up at all in the frames the mask layer spans (it's purple on a black background) and the circle does not move across the text like I told it to with the motion tweening. I don't know why it's not working. For some reason the circle isn't showing on the stage at all and it's not moving across the text. I don't know if I have it set up wrong on the timeline or what. Here's the steps I followed to create the mask:
    1.insert a new layer in which I named it mask and click frame 1 on this layer
    2. select the oval tools on the tools panel and set the stroke to none
    3. set the fill color to purple
    4. draw a circle and click the selection tool and drag a marquee around the circle to select it.
    5. click insert on the menu bar, click motion tween then click ok in dialog box about converting it to a symbol to be tweened
    6. click the last frame in the mask layer and drag the circle to the end of the line of text
    7.click mask on the timeline to select the mask layer, click modify on the menu bar, point to timeline then click layer properties
    8. verify the show check box is selected in the name section, click the lock check box to select it, click the mask option button in he type section, then click ok.
    9. play the movie in which the circle object covers the text on the masked layer as it moves across the stage
    Thanks for your help!

    Update 8-2-10: In play mode the text was still visible when it shouldn't be but once I tested the movie the mask worked correctly with the text. So problem solved
    -ashmic19
    Thanks for all who viewed this. I finally figured out why it wasn't working. I had the mask layer locked. But now the circle is moving across the text but the text is viewable when it shouldn't be until the circle moves across it. How come it's doing this?

  • Mask not working on loaded jpg

    Hi,
    I have a blank movie called "shell" on a frame, which is
    where I load the jpg. - shell.loadMovie("1.jpg");
    Above that the frame that contains the shell movie, I have a
    mask layer. Once the jpg is loaded, I have a shape animation on the
    mask layer that reveals the jpg.... but for some reason it doesn't
    work. If I take away the mask layer it displays properly.
    *UPDATE*
    The mask stops working when the shape tween starts. Initialy
    the masks works when there is no tween on the mask layer.

    Thanks - your example worked for me. Not sure why I couldn't get it to work before. I think it was because the mask and the item were the same exact size as well. I created another example and posted below which is what I was going for.

  • Inverted layer mask not working

    I havent used PS much of late but in CS6 when layer masking the technique I used to use doesnt seem to work anymore.  I would have two layers.  The top layer I would put a layer mask.  Then I would select all and delete hit the delete button so the mask would turn black and invert.  Then instead of painting black over white to reveal the bottom layer I would paint white over black to bring my top layer back.  I liked doing it like this.   But its not working now.   When I paint with white on the black mask nothing happens?? I tried inverting in the properties but makes no diff.   What am I doing wrong?

    Check the blending mode on your brush.  It may be set to darken or some other blend mode than normal.  As a side note, you can invert a layer mask be making sure it's selected and press ctrl/cmd-i. You can also create a mask where everything is hidden by pressing alt/opt then clicking on the add layer mask icon in the layers pallet.

  • Mask not working correctly in swf

    Hai Friends,
    I am trying to do a simple masking which works correctly in
    fla but when viewed in swf the text which is masked is not
    seen..What i did is first i wrote some text converted it to
    movieclip then in another layer i did draw a rectangle with some
    color and right clicked the rectangle and masked it When viewed in
    fla the masked text is viewable but when converted to swf the text
    is not seen Is it some problem with Flash Can you please help me...

    Text is not able to be masked in Flash by default.
    You CAN do this IF you embed your text (or simply break it
    apart into vectors if it doesn't need to be dynamic).
    To break apart - select your text and hit Ctrl+B twice (Cmd+B
    on Mac). This will make the text vectors, thus negating the
    problem.
    Otherwise, you need to embed the fonts in 2 ways. First, if
    you like, you can click the "Embed fonts" button in the properties
    panel, and select what to embed. OR, you can go to the Library's
    drop-menu and select "New Font" - choose your font, and click OK.
    Either of these methods embeds your font. BUT, there is one more
    step. You need to give your text box an instanceName, go to the
    actions panel, and enter the following:
    myTextBox.embedFonts = true;
    This will finish the embed process to allow the masking (and
    alpha changes) to work for the text.

  • CS5 Layer Mask not working. Hide all not hiding

    I need some help here. CS5 on win 7 64 bit. Duplicate layer and apply a layer mask (alt click) and it does not hide the layer. Just applying a mask and painting with black also does not hide. If I hide the background layer then the mask appears as the white and grey checkerboard pattern, no solid color. Am I missing something simple?
    Thanks, Dave

    The checkerboard indicates places where your entire document is transparent through and through.
    I suspect your mask is working as it's supposed to, and that when the background layer is visible you're just seeing through to the duplicate layer below - which by definition will not look any different on your display.
    Try this:
    Add a brightly colored solid color fill layer just below the layer you're masking.  Now see what the mask does to the upper layer.

  • Properties panel for masks not working

    The apply, disable and delete buttons on the properties panel for masks does not work in PSD CC. Is this a bug or do I have some setting not set correctly? If I want to apply a layer mask I have to drag it to the trash in the layers panel then make a choice on a popup menu. They worked in CS6.

    I don't know exactly what is going on with your friend's system, but the instance you mentioned of Applying layers masks, was actually a safety error trap.  i.e. Do you really want to trash this layer mask or do you want to Apply it before deleting it.
    In CC the Adjustment layer, and Masks share the same Properties panel, so you have to have a mask selected to view the masks panel.  It all works sensibly IME.  As I said above, you were coming at something a bit left field.  That's not necessarily wrong.  Whatever workflow works best for you is best for you, but there might be better ways to do things.
    A lot of us rail innitially at changes to apps we have used in a certain way for many years, but IME they always turn out to be for the better once you get used to them.

  • De-Saturation Mask Not Working... Exactly

    Hey guys... weird problem... I am trying to create one of those images where you desaturate all the color out of an image and leave only a few select "highlight" components in color for effect...  so I go to the layer, click on the "Create new fill or adjustment layer" button at the bottom of the layers panel (next to create mask), and use the Hue/Saturation option, then desaturate the setting, then paint bucket the layer to black, and then use a white brush to wipe out the colors in the areas that I want.  It seems like it does it fine, but the thing is, it doesnt desaturate 100%.  This has happened in another "desaturate" process (cant remember what it was exactly).  It seems to take out the color but there is still definitely some brownish or whatever hue in there.. it shows as such when I use an eyedropper to check the "new color," and when I turn the image into grayscale, it defintely is different.
    So why can tthe white brush desaturate the colors 100%  There must be some other setting I am missing?
    Thanks!

    If the image should be for web you should switch to RGB anyway.
    I edited the previous message, so you may have missed this:
    Another option would be to manually create a 4C-black with Curves and Channel Mixer Adjustment Layer(s).
    Basically I recommend you consider doing the correction in RGB and then separate ideally with a profile with a fairly strong GCR.
    But you are right that one can get quite a way without understanding everything Photoshop does … and who can claim to do anyway? (apart from some Adobe employees …) 

  • Gradient Transparency Mask not working

    Hey there.
    I am working with Flash 8 trying to create a gradient mask
    effect with 2 images and a headline. I have created this effect 2xs
    already for the border of the page. I used 2 movieclips, gave them
    instance names, checked "runtime bitmap caching", and added a
    string of AS: maskee.setMask("mask"); Like I said the first 2 work,
    but I've been trying to add another one for hours and it just won't
    work!?! I even brough all the elements of the 3rd one into a new
    document and it works fine the way I'm doing it!! The file size is
    not enormous. Has anyone else heard of this issue? Any
    solutions!?!?
    Thanks!
    -ms.Lee

    ha! i totally figured it out! you have to have the code (in
    your actions layer of course) on the same frame as the first
    keyframe of the item to be masked. geez, that only took me 3 hours
    to figure out!! well, hope it helps someone else save sometime.
    toodles!

  • Secondary colur correction mask not working! Help!

    I am currently working on Premier Pro CS6 editing a music video. I have edited my footage, fixed the tonality and I am now onto color grading it. I took the saturation down to take out the colour and applied RGB curves to add blue into the shadows and then another fast colour corrector to give the video a blue/black depressed feel.
    Going through my footage I wanted to take out certain colours that were too vibrant still. So I thought to make a mask. This is where my problem starts. I open up the three way colour corrector and the RGB curves and go down to secondary color correction and go to mask. When I try to take a sample from the dropper Premier doesn’t pick up the colour from where I want but selects it in other areas of the footage but never on the area I want! I have tried this on my mac book pro and the same is happening. When I have tried it on rushes it seems to work. I don’t understand why it doesn’t work when I have colour graded my footage?! I have tried many different discussions but nothing is pointing me forward. If anyone has any idea of why this is happening and how to solve my problem I would be so thankful!

    Hi ACD,
    After Effects and Photoshop CS6 take .Looks via the LUT engine. That indeed allows for using primaries with low mid high differentiation and should yield really good results.
    Secondaries can be expressed in a LUT as well, but I would typically not recommend using them when you want to integrate .Looks with your After Effects workflow. Here's why:
    - a LUT is never as precise as you'd want it to be for something as complex as secondary color grading - a LUT is always based on interpolation (as opposed to applying the effect in SpeedGrade - there it's all native, no interpolation at all)
    - For a good key you would typically use the denoise and the blur function in the secondaries. Both (by nature) don't translate at all into a LUT, so you'd have to give up using these 2 important tools
    - For a lot of work you'd want the LUT to be accompanied by a mask. That's something that also can't be described in a LUT.
    Think of the LUT support for .Looks you created in SpeedGrade more as a really helpful tool for matching your comps to an overall look you design, not necessarily as the tool to apply a final grade.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Masking not working

    Hello
    I would like to know what I'm doing wrong. I am a beginner who is trying to learn about after effects. I want to mask something, but it only works inside the "layer" and not the composition.
    Here are two screen shots:
    in the layer:
    http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/Thil/ScreenShot2011-12-02at94350PM.png
    in the composition:
    http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a198/Thil/ScreenShot2011-12-02at94339PM.png
    Is there a setting that is not turned on or something? What am i doing wrong. Also I'm trying to make a directional fade. After effects only offers a opacity setting to fade the entire screen where I want to fade for example starting on the left and ending on the right. I was planning on creating a mask with a lot of feathering to reveal the layer underneath, but I'm open to better suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    It's really hard to tell what's going on because your masks are the same color. Click on one of the little squares next to the Mask and make it a different color so we can tell which is which.
    Also, we can't see what layers are below your masked footage. Is it possible that there's a duplicate of the layer you are masking?

  • Final Cut Pro X - Create Archive not working with Yosemite!

    Just upgraded my laptop to Yosemite and now I can't create any camera archives.  I am not sure if it is my laptop or Yosemite that is causing the issue.  I tried creating a camera archive with the same SD card on another machine (running Mavericks) and it worked fine.  Anyone else having similar issues?

    Oddly, still no luck. i was hoping to find something in the logs but FCPX keeps pretty quiet. My goal was to see if this feature was broken but since it is working for others, I will close this question.
    Thanks
