Hi! I think that it should work this way.... [pvcs] path = /pvcs writable = yes browseable = yes printable = no write list = pvcsadmin read list = pvcsuser force user = pvcs force group = pvcs As you are forcing the user to pvcs and the group to pvcs, samba will create files in the Unix environment belonging to user pvcs and group pvcs, I think that the only way you can get it working is assigning all the rights to the "other" access rights in the Unix environment (chmod /pvcs 777?). It might be helpful to use "force create mode = 777" and "force directory mode = 777" Hope this helps. Regards, Carlos Zottmann zottmann@stj.gov.br
