Hello, I have a very strange access problem, and do not know how to get rid of it. We have a server with a Raid 1 installed running under SuSE 9.2 (Samba 3.0.9-2.3). There are some shares where several users need access to. The permissions of the directories are rwxrwxr-x user1 users when files on that shares are accessed by a Windows Client a strange behaviour occurs. Accessing files with Excel or Access (opening changing and saving them) results in a change oft the permissions, so that the group doesn?t have write permissions any more. The same change of permissions occurs when a Backup over the LAN from a Windows Client is made of these directories. Other programs like Word or Notepad leave the permissions alone. First I thought ist was a problem of Posix ACLs that I first had set to the whole home-directory (see my mail a few days ago). However, the problem remained after deleting these ACLs and the default ACL I had set to the home-directory. I have tried a lot of things, but couldn?t get the problem solved. Another strange thing I observed ist that different users belonging to the same group get different permissions for new files. some have rw-rw-rw others rw-r--r-- others rw-rw-r-- in their home-directories (share [homes]) I hope anyone can help me. I?m really desperate.
