hi, I have a file in a samba share with the following attributes: [dir1002] comment = webmin share write list = usr1,usr2 path = /misc/removable/dir1002 read only = no The files are created with the following ownership(the file system is vfat): -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Feb 14 07:23 New Text Document.txt -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4 Feb 14 07:28 txt1.txt I'm able to create/copy and delete a file. However I'm unable to edit the files. Am I missing something? thanks, pitchu
