We are running SCO Unix 5.05 on the Unix box where reports are generated. Samba 2.07 was installed to allow a user a Windows GUI for accessing files for printing. She additionally wishes to rename and delete some files. She is running off of a Windows 98 client which has read/write access to the report sub-directory on the Unix server. When she goes to rename or delete the files, she gets a message saying that she does not have permission to do so. Where should I be looking, and for what, to check on why she gets this response? Your help is greatly appreciated! David Albert Network Information Technologies Group, Inc. davidA@netinfotech.com

My guess is that the directory mode doesn't allow her to modify its content even though Samba grants her a read/write permission (or vice versa). Regards, Kohei

READ YOUR LOGS!! Logs are your friends. 2. "ls -l" Who owns the files ? What are the permissions on the files ? What is the user name on the Windows box. 3. RTFM Thank you, Steve Maroney
