I'm making a samba/pdc server with windows (2k e xp) clients. For now, that's ok, but I got some errors: - Some files (ex.: /home/silvana) don't show up in Windows Explorer. I've already checked on the server and all files of /home/silvana are into the server, but windows explorer don't show them. All the files are .doc. An interesting thing is that if we put the complete address of the file (ex: \\server\salatecnica\document_that_dont_show_up.doc) I can open it but windows shows a message: File can be warmfull: Open or Save? - In the public shares (ex. [salatecnica] ) when the user access that share, automaticaly I got my directorie (ex /home/salatecnica) permissions changed to 750, but I want them permanently 770 permission. In addition I want when a user make a file in this share, the file have 770 permission. - The user can't change his own passwd in Windows (CTRL + ALT + DEL / change passwd) - How can I create a share for 2 or 3 groups? For exemple, the groups tecnicos, engenheiros and administracao will have rights to read/write/execute files in share [salatecnica]. I really need this problems solved. My boss want my head for this.
