Hi, I have a working installation of Samba 2.2.8a on Mandrake 9.2 connected to a Win NT 4.0 sp6 via winbind. Everything works fine except that I cannot give the NT user "administrator" administrative rights on samba and users cannot change samba file permissions from Win2k/WinXP Here follows my smb.conf # Samba config file created using SWAT # from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) # Date: 2004/04/28 11:35:22 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = DOMAIN netbios name = SAMBA server string = Samba Server %v security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes password server = * log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 character set = ISO8859-15 os level = 18 local master = No dns proxy = No winbind uid = 10000-20000 winbind gid = 10000-20000 template homedir = /users/%D/home/%U template shell = /bin/bash winbind separator = / winbind use default domain = Yes path = /home admin users = Administrator [homes] path = /users/DOMAIN/home read only = No create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 browseable = No wide links = No [felles] path = /users/DOMAIN/felles read only = No valid users = @"Domain Users",@Domain_Ansatte,@"Domain Admins" force create mode = 0775 force directory mode = 0775 I was wondering if there is a simple solution to this problem or if I have to apply the ACL patch to kernel 2.4.20 Thank you in advance, Stefano
