Hello, I've just tested a share configuration like the following and it did not work as I've expected it. Maybe someone can explain me what I'm doing wrong. [Marktplatz] path = /marktplatz msdfs root = no writeable = yes browseable = yes public = no dos filemode = no hide unreadable = no create mode = 0644 directory mode = 1777 force create mode = 0644 force directory mode = 1777 security mask = 0777 directory security mask = 0777 force security mode = 0 force directory security mode = 0 locking = 1 blocking locks = 1 strict locking = 0 oplocks = 1 level2 oplocks = 1 fake oplocks = 0 csc policy = manual nt acl support = 1 inherit acls = 0 inherit owner = no inherit permissions = no admin users = @admins After creating the share I've set the sticky bit on the diretory /marktplatz. The expected result is, that everyone can create files, but just the owner of a file can delete it. This works as long as no user creates her own subdirectory. In that case the owner of the subdirectory can also delete files that does not belong to her. E.g.: drwxrwxrwt 7 root Guests 77 Jul 13 15:26 /marktplatz drwxrwxrwt 2 b Users 38 Jul 15 08:03 /marktplatz/alexandra -rw-r--r-- 1 b Users 0 Jul 15 07:08 /marktplatz/alexandra/b.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 a Users 0 Jul 15 08:03 /marktplatz/alexandra/a.txt In this case user b can delete file a.txt while user a can not delete b.txt. If I change the owner of the directory /marktplatz/alexandra to root, user a und b can just delete their own file. If I access the directory via linux the owner of the directory is not important, the sticky bit works as expect. Does anyone have an idea? best regards Andreas -- Andreas B?sching Open Source Software Engineer Univention GmbH Linux for your business Mary-Somerville-Str.1 28359 Bremen Tel. : +49 421 22232-0 Fax : +49 421 22232-99 <buesching at univention.de> http://www.univention.de Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Peter H.
