I am confused by this paragraph:> I have looked at the Redhat firewall. I have even > tried copying its smb.conf file to no avail.smb.conf has nothing to do with the Redhat firewall. I use ipchains but Redhat likely used a more advanced firewall, that I can't really help you with much, if that is your problem. Joel
Hi, Do any of you know of a way to get perms such as they are in a Windows PDC in Samba? What I mean is; dir /a/b/c/d condition; 1) dir abc cannot be deleted 2) dir d can be deleted 3) files in dir ab cannot be deleted but can be created 4) files in dir cd can be deleted As a work around I've created an empty tree structure (a sort of template) and have just renamed the dirs while maintaning the custom perms. Would be nice if it were dynamic. Bri- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Shopping - Send Flowers for Valentine's Day http://shopping.yahoo.com

But, sorry, i don't have real solution for this. I try to set the permissions with the unix rights. In addition to "create mask" and "directory mask" i use the sticky bits to realize my permission structure. It's sad to say, but i think, that this to a real big disadvantage of Samba. If you try to set a complex permission structure, it's very difficult work. With Windows or especially Novell it's much more easier, i think. Michael
I think you will have to learn about iptables. Redhat may keep many of these ports closed by default for security. Linux is not noted for instant gratification. Be prepared to learn a lot.
