Linux permissions

I have samba setup to not require a password (I am the only person in my household who knows what samba is so I am not worried). I can not delete recordings by samba unless I chmod the recordings folder. How do I correct it so I do not have to keep chmoding it. thanks.

what is the mode that doesnt work, and what are you setting the mode to in order to fix it? Making it world writable ?

I don't remember if i made my installation of Channels run under a dedicated channels user or if that's how all the installs work. but you can make samba use the same user/group as Channels is using and that should get around any permissions issues. to find the user Channels is running as, can do something like ps -ef | awk '/[c]hannels-dvr/ { print $1 }'

in your /etc/samba/smb.conf inside your [whateverShare] definition, just add like

force user = channels
directory mask = 0775
writable = yes

then restart samba. Should work
