samba - Nov 1998 - change Unix file permissions from a NT Box

Is there a posibilty to change all Unix file permissions from the
NT-Explorer (not only arciv,hidden,sysem mappig). A solution could bee to
extend the context menu with to entries show security and set secutriy (inf
- files could do that for example winzip-installation does the sama). This
extensions can call for example a rsh programm which will do that job.

Does anybody has a solution or ideas to solve that problem?

Wow - really interresting idea... would be really cool

Using has some drawbacks, because nt doesn't know the unix-password need for
rsh.
Maybe there is some documentation, about the smb-"api"-calls nt uses
when
changing permissions on a nt server (btw: is this possible?)
Of course the nt-permissions can not be fully supported by samba, because
the are more sophisticated then unix-perms, but there should be solutiosn
for this...

If you start working on this, let me know it.

	In smb.conf(5) I found a parameter "magic script", but no
description about "magic file". May you deliver me more details about
your
idea? Thanks
