Hi, I have two users (one is me), connecting to the same directory tree on a Solaris box, for simplicity using smbclient for Samba 3.0.2a. In this tree, group permissions are set to rwx for a group that we are both in. I own some dirs, my colleague owns others. If I log in, I can put a file in any directory in the tree. If my colleague logs in, he can only write to directories that he owns. Directly on Solaris (and via linux) using NFS we can both write to all directories. The logs just say permission denied. Any ideas what could be wrong? Many thanks, Nick.
Are you both members of the same unix group? -----Original Message----- From: samba-bounces+jxpsys=rit.edu@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces+jxpsys=rit.edu@lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of Nick THOMPSON Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 7:03 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Permissions issue 3.0.2a Hi, I have two users (one is me), connecting to the same directory tree on a Solaris box, for simplicity using smbclient for Samba 3.0.2a.

Hi Reinhard, No, I'm using Solaris 8 and only "files" and "nis", no ldap. I read through the bug you mentioned, but my problem seems only to effect specific users and their secondary groups. I use a username map file to convert windows user names to unix user names. I have made the assumption that with this mapping in place, the connecting windows user would automatically inherit all his unix groups as well. This seems to work for most users, but not all. Strange. Regards, Nick. On Thu, 2004-03-25 at 08:45, Sojka Reinhard wrote:> Hi, > > just a question of interest.
