Dear Sirs, we're having some inconviniences on files used in a private system, developed to "suit" the company. this system's files are located in /var/wsystems and permissions are granted 4777 acordingly to all files. When we start up and work in this system with ONE user alone, we have no problems whatsoever... however when we start up the whole intranet in this system, most of files read by it are simply DELETED... as we have absolutely no clue of what is going on with it, we are begging for your help. I took the care of including our smb.conf file. It is run in SuSE 8.0 box. Should you need any extra info, just ask.
