Hello folks. I'm new to the list and I have questions about Samba. I have been able to configure Samba 3.x on Solaris 9 with AD authentication for the users. I'm able to mount the shares onto Windows XP clients and able to read the files. Now, if I use a text editor like notepad or GVIM to save an existing file, it saves it. When I try to use Word, Eclipse, or Crimson Editor, it errors out saying that it can't save the file... One thing I noticed with the later applications is that it tries to create a temp file first where the edited file came from before overwriting the original file. Now in my smb.conf, I have it forced user and group as well as the valid user setting. Has anybody seen a workaround for this? Looks like the application tries to overwrite the file using a different user... Thanks in advance for your help. Below is my smb.conf: [global] netbios name = web1 workgroup = AD server string = TEST Website Server log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m log level = 3 max log size = 50000 debug timestamp = no security = DOMAIN socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = no preferred master = no dns proxy = no encrypt passwords = yes wins proxy = no wins server = 10.1.1.100 socket options = TCP_NODELAY password server = pdc1,pdc2 name resolve order = wins bcast domain master = False browse list = No enhanced browsing = No [test-htdocs] comment = "Test htdocs" path = /akcapps/web/www-test/htdocs public = yes read only = no # writeable = yes create mask = 0644 force create mode = 0664 force directory mode = 0775 force user = web force group = web valid users = @web level2 oplocks = Yes Daim Choc _________________________________________________________________ Laugh, share and connect with Windows Live Messenger http://clk.atdmt.com/MSN/go/msnnkwme0020000001msn/direct/01/?href=http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=hmtagline
