Wrong solution for what's really not a problem. You should map the samba user to 'myself'. Or, even better, place both users in a group and have /home/myself owned by myself:commongroup and 770. -- Mistofeles: Either I have missed something, or it doesn't work as I expected. Still the directory got to be like this: drwx---rwx 4 myself users 4096 2009-11-27 14:14 . I changed the permissions and group, and now I it is RW from WinXP: drwxrwx--- 4 myself domain users 4096 2009-11-27 14:14 . All the subdirectories or files are with permissions and groups built like this: -rwx------ 1 myself domain users 0 2009-11-27 14:14 hello.txt I still wonder, what to do, if we have to allow new users to be linux users in this server. I'd rather use the original Linux groups (barack:users) and permissions (700) here to keep he users out of the data of the other users. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/how-to-join-to-AD---tp26513594p26541917.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
