Re: [rhn-users] Samba - NT4DC Permissions

["Bruce Miller" <millerbg verizon net>]

I have my RH9 networked with Windows 98 machines. I just tried to change the properties from Windows and couldn't do it either. So I went into RH9 and changed the File Owner and the File Group to myself, then I was able to change properties from windows.

 

Note: these files were copied from Windows to my RH9 machine, in my own directory, using Windows to do the copying and it shows both the File owner and File group as root.

Subject: [rhn-users] Samba - NT4DC Permissions

Hello,

 

I have a RH9 Samba machine (default Server/no updates) joined to an NT4DC with an XP and another NT4 box connecting and sharing files just fine.  So I thought, it came to my attention that from the Windows GUI you cannot change the permissions on a file or folder even if you own the file.

 

I have been over the smb.conf file and tried all sorts of examples with no luck.  Strange thing is that our RH8 box worked perfect?I even tried an upgrade of that box to RH9 and whatever RH9 does breaks it.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated also let me know what other info is required to help me out with this.

 

Thanks,

 

Ezra
