Hi,
I have Samba (samba-2.2.1a) set up and working on RedHat 7.1 on a
server. My only goal at present is to have access to the server's disks
from my (WinNT SP6) desktop.
My home directory is fine. I can read, edit, create and delete files
from my Windows NT pc, and there's no problem. My own files have
ownser::group username::username in the usual RedHat style.
The website files have ownership nobody::nobody as commonly recommended.
I can see the fles and open the files from the PC, but I can't edit and
save the files, or create new files. I *am* a member of the nobody
group, and can edit, create etc... these files quite happily when logged
in to the server as me.
I *can* fix this by taking ownership of the files on the server, by
changing their ownership to username::username. When I do this all is
well. I can then edit away to my hearts content. I don't *want* to do
this for other reasons.
Any suggestions??
Anthony Staines.
