Hi Folks, Can someone clear me up about the following problem. I've been reading the conferences, and saw the question be asked many times, but did not find a solution. I can set the normal dos-attributes (archive, readonly, system, hidden) on files, when I put the parameters "map xxxx" in smb.conf. However, if I want to change these attributes on a directory, nothing changes. Even when I manipulate the directory mode on unix by hand it will not be shown at the client-side. I suppose it has to do with the behaviour of unix where the execute bit is used to allow reading the directory contents. I'd like to know if there is a workaround (eg. use the "sticky bits" of unix, use a special file to save the directory attributes, ...) And if so, how I can implement this solution. I still am using samba 1.19.10 on various "alpha"-systems running tru96 unix v4.0d. Greetings, Hans van der Heide BDL Informatik GmbH Switzerland
