[Samba] W2K user needs root rights in Samba, how can I set it up?
I have a BackupExec program running on a W2K server which needs to backup data on my RHL 7.2 machine running Samba 2.2.3a-20020206 and winbind. How can I give this BackupExec program (which has its own user) the rights it needs to copy and change the archive bit of various files in various user/group directories? This is the last portion I need to get fixed so I can change all permissions to their appropriate levels of security. All help is very much appreciated. Kevin Bramblett
