Hi guys,
Unfortunately I'm still battling with this.
Perhaps I've missed something ?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kindest regards
David Wilson

Subject: Inherit permissions question
> Hi guys,
>
> How are you ?
>
> We have a share named [userprofile] on our Samba-3.0.9 server where each
> users' profile is stored.
> Fairly often a user which is not the user that owns the profile i.e and
> admin, needs to copy files into other users' profile folders.
> The problem which then arises is that the user who owns the profile is
> unable to access the new files, due to the UNIX permissions being set to
> the person who copied the files into the directory.
> I've looked through the smb.conf and found the "inherit
permissions"
> parameter and tried it but cannot seem to get it to work ?
>
> In my smb.conf for the [userprofile] share I have the following:
> [userprofile]
> path = /data/userprofile
> read only = no
> guest ok = yes
> profile acls = yes
> browseable = no
> csc policy = disable
> share modes = no
> inherit permissions = yes
>
> If the administrator connects to \\server\userprofile\user1 and writes a
> file named "test.txt" into the directory the permissions from the
> directory "user1" are not propagated down to the new file.
> My permissions on the "user1" directory are set as follows:
> drwx----- 16 user1 users 4096 2005-01-21 user1/
>
> The file "test.txt" gets written with the following permissions:
> -rw------ 16 root Domain Admins 0 2005-01-21 07:07 test.txt
>
> Any ideas on how I get samba to write it so that the owner of the folder
> propagates to new files written into the folder even if a domain admin
> writes them there ?
>
> Many thanks.
