We're running SAMBA on a RedHat ES 3.0 server (SAMBA v3.0.9-1.3E2) as a PDC. In attempting to use the procedures outlined in the HOWTOs (aka TOSHARG), entitled "Share Permissions Management", I'm running into a frustrating problem: Using either the SVRMGR.EXE NT resource kit application or the Computer Management MMC in 2k/XP, I get the following error upon trying to set permissions on any share: "The specified path is invalid." Looking at the Share Properties dialog in SVRMGR.EXE, I see that the share path is "C:\files\user". I'm guessing it's the "C:\" part that is throwing things off - the location on the filesystems is simply /directory/user, shared via samba as: [user] comment = Network Storage path = /files/user browseable = yes writeable = yes The same error shows up when using the 2K/XP MMC. I see no mention of a workaround in the mailing lists or in the published TOSHARG, and I'm stumped. Any suggestions or insight on the matter would be greatly appreciated - especially workarounds or an alternate method of setting the permissions for a share. Thanks, Marshall
