Hi!
I want to list users from smbpasswd (stored in /etc/samba). I chmoded the
file from 600 to 644, to ba able to read it with PHP. After a while somehow
it changed back to 600, so it was fully unreadable again :(
How can I set that the samba don't need to change it back OR change it
deafaultly to 644?
(someone told me to make a hardlink to the file when it is 644 but that did
not help)
Awaiting Your Answers, Thank You:
TeeCee :o)

This file should not be 644, as it contains the users hashed passwords (ie. you're giving full access to all users passwords to anyone on the system). Samba is trying to protect you from yourself here.... Jeremy.
