Is there any way to allow a group to change permissions and not just the owner? I know I can use force user = root and valid users = group but that is dangerous and I do not want to do share level permissions (I have a dept share with subdirectories limited to each department). Any help would be most appreciated. Environment: RH Linux 7.2 2.4.18acl Kernel patched with acl.bestbits.at acl patches Samba 2.2.3a Cheers, -Bill ---- Bill Town Kontiki, Inc.
