Hello, can anyone explain me the following. in a share [homes] a user has a subfolder with permissions as follow rwxr-xr-x harry users From the Windows-client you see Group Administrators no rights Users full Everyone no rights a file has the permissions rw-r--r-- harry users From the Windows-client you see Group Administrators read,write Users full Everyone read another file with this permissions rwxr--r-- harry users From the Windows-client you see Group Administrators full Users full Everyone read I dont?t understand this behaviour. Especially as the Windows-client tells me the group of Administrators was the owner of the files respectively the folder. What?s wrong? We have also difficulties in saving changed files especially those of Excel. When doing so (Linux-) permissions change from rw-r--r-- to r--r--r--. This behavior I have already mailed 3/1/05 (Access Problems). The special situation of this server is: After a crash of a prior installation (SuSE 8.2) we installed SuSE 9.2 (Samba 3.0.9) and copied the files /etc/passwd, etc/group, /etc/shadow, and the whole directory /etc/samba from the old to the new installation. Everything worked fine, also the login to the domain was no problem. The server based profiles were preserved. The only problem are the permissions and the change of them when accessing and changing existing files. We urgently need help.
