Hello,
I am using Brighstor to backup my Linux machines using shares at the moment
as I cannot get the agents to work (neither can CA). This would work fine if
the Backup program could re-set the archive bit (Linux file owner execute
setting). The problem is that, when accessing the share from a Windows
machine, I cannot re-set the archive bit under any combination of
permissions, unless the client that is logged onto the share is also the
owner of the file. However, if I "force user" to be root, then I can
re-set
the archive bitno problem. So, I say to myself, if I set myself as the
"admin user" for the share then the same should apply, i.e. the admin
user
should have root privalages on the share. However, this does not work. If it
did, I would be sorted.
Can anybody tell me why "force user" as root allows me to re-set the
archive
bit, but "admin user" does not.
Below is a copy of the smb.conf file with the global and share settings.
Thanks for your help,
Andrew Butler.

Jerry,
Thanks for this. It almost worked......
So now I can modify the archive bit manually using the Windows Properties
tab. I thought this was it but when I edited and saved the same file, the
archive bit did not switch on........ It does switch on if I modify and save
the file if I am the owner or "force user" to be root.........
"admin users"
still does not make a difference.
The answers are never that simple! Any more ideas?
Andrew.
