Dear Samba Gurus, I would like to know how to configure Samba to keep the file ownership when someone creates a file on the Win95/98/NT boxes, instead of having everything set to guest.guest, what forces to change the ownership for that file to the right user.group everytime. For example: On the UNIX side, there's an account like martin.develop, so when I log in the network using a Win box, I get my own home directory and some other shared stuff when I use the "network neverhood"; that's just fine. The problem: if I create a simple text file, for example, I cannot save it to my own home directory because of the permissions, although as the user martin I have all rwx permission on that directory. All I can do is to choose another "public" (mode 777) location and save there my file, which is owned by guest.guest, and usually is rwx------. Now, if I want to use/modify the file I must chown martin.develop before... I think you already get the idea... Has anybody faced this already or am I overseeing something obvious??? Thanks for your help! Best regards, Martin -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Martin Mielke - SysAdmin Tel.: ++ 34 928 262299 c/.
