You can try creating in samba (use SWAT) a user used by your application,
and give rights on that folder where you zip the back-up!

|Subject: [firebird-support] Linux samba rights
|
|We have our project saving database every night automatically. It is
|done partly by FB service, partly by our application. It first creates a
|backup of database, then our application packs it with some sort of ZIP
|library. It works great on Windows, but fails on some linux environment.
|The bad thing, that when FB creates the backup file, it creates with
|root rights (we tried to change the FB starting script, so the user
|would be user1, but finally it always starts with root privileges). But
|when our application tries to pack it on Windows, it tries to read it
|with user1 rights trough samba, so it can't do it, our backup process
|fails.
|
|Any idea how to make this works? This is a very important part of our
|application, it HAS to work.
|
|Thanks,
|SanTa
