I've looked around and can't find the answer. We have a Samba file server joined to our Active Directory and using ACLs. We are enforcing quotas on this machine, but when specifying the home directory, the directory is owned by the person who created it. Using Windows and going into the security permissions, there doesn't seem to be a way to remove the owning user/group. When you hit apply, they show right back up. Is there any way for a Windows user to change the owning user/group through the Window's GUI? This would be very helpful for our helpdesk team. Thanks, Robert LeBlanc Life Sciences Computer Support Brigham Young University leblanc@byu.edu (801)422-1822

That is what I found out after having this problem for years in a samba ldap domain. John -- John M. Drescher
