I have SAMBA 2.05a set up on a Solaris 2.5.1 box and have these settings in the SMB.CONF file in the homes section: security mask = 0777 force security mode = 0 directory security mask = 0777 force directory security mode = 0 This allows me (from an NT machine) to view and alter file permissions using NT's file security dialog screen. There is an update to Win9x called 'server tools'. These basically give you the Event viewer, Server Manager, and User Manager applications that are part of NT. It also gives you an extension to the 'explorer' file manager style utility that lets you view security on NTFS volumes. When mapping a drive to a SAMBA resource and trying to query the security on a file or directory I get a message saying: 'The remote procedure call failed' Is there a known work-around that will allow me to view file/directory permissions from a Win9x client with the 'server tools' installed? If not does anyone know if support for this is planned in a future SAMBA build? Thanks, Paul
