I have just installed Samba 2.2.6 and have joined this box into an NT4 domain. When i try to change the directory or file permissions from say W2k (right clicking and then proerties) It lets me do it but doesnt save it. It reverts back to a default setting giving everyone and the unix directory owner full access. How can i change permissions from Windows using the standard acl Raju Omikron Technology Ltd.

Of course, some smb.conf options for the share could conflict with these, e.g. "admin users", "force user"... A separate share would be a "cleaner" solution. -- Ciao, Marco. ..."Crac!", Area 1975
Greetings, We are in the process of moving all our files from Windows 2000 Server to Samba running on RedHat 8.0. Have had a failry smooth ride, but this morning I was asked to restrict access to a particular directory in a particular share to a group of users. How do I do this ? Am I better to create a new share and share that folder out from there setting permissions etc. When the files were stored on win2000 server I was able to go to the security tab and add/select/change users from there. Is there a way to do this from the linux box where ths files are stored ? Thanks Ben
