I recently upgraded from samba-1.9.16p2 to samba-1.9.18p10 and now am having some difficulties with "write list" that worked well on the samba-1.9.16p2 release. my global section: [global] server string = Radix Technologies Samba Server username map = /apps/samba/lib/users.map mangled map = (*.html *.htm) guest account = nobody lock directory = /apps/samba/var/locks preferred master = no wins server = 172.16.1.1 the share : [DocControl] comment = Document Control path = /apps/doccont public = yes read only = yes write list = @doccontrol create mask = 0775 force group = doccontrol force user = lrodrigu preserve case = yes case sensitive = no short preserve case = yes It worked with the older version....only folks in the unix group doccontrol could write to it. Now no one can write to it. Have I missed something obvious? Thanks in advance. -Jeff
