All, I have what I hope is a small problem.... Here at RIT, we are testing using Samba 3.x hooked into windows AD for filesharing between Windows and Apple fileshares. The way we are set up is in a OU structure where there is really no one domain admin. We are split up into multiple OU's and each OU has an administrator. What we are trying to do is to get what I call an "Administrative share" that I assign to the OU administrators. Once I give that to them, I would like to be able to let them loose on creating shares for their respective departments. One thing I noticed that I was wondering if there was a way around was the administrative users field in the smb.conf file. Is there a way to give someone the privs to create a share in samba without being listed in the admin users field. When I tried this with a user who wasn't listed, we got a "Access Denied" but as soon as I put the username in the field, it was fine. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated... ---John --------------------------------------------------------- John Petro Rochester Institute of Technology System Programmer - Technical Support Services/ITS 585-475-4925 jxpsys@rit.edu ---------------------------------------------------------
