I am including the smb.conf, log from my workstation and a listing of the
files and folders created. Force group correctly sets the group, but force
user always creates stuff as root. Samba 2.0.7 on Sparc Solaris 2.6.
Regards,
John

Samba 2.0.7 > on Sparc Solaris 2.6.[Ops_Docs] path = /home/Ops_Docs valid users = jferguson rosemary admin users = jferguson rosemary read list = jferguson rosemary write list = jferguson rosemary force user = jferguson force group = opdocgrp writeable = Yes create mask = 0774 directory mask = 0775 inherit permissions = Yes It's because you have jferguson listed as an admin user which by definition means that all operations done by jferguson are performed as root. Maybe not a very intuitive configuration I would admit. I can see how it would be easy to get caught in this.

I doubt this will ever work because the name is 9 characters long.
