Hi, I am using samba to redirect the profiles of the windows user on to linux. I have the follwoing setup. in my setup there is a parent child relationship between two user. I am using homes share for profile. inside the My Documents of a parent user there is a Company share folder which is shared to its child user using a different share. as <parentuser.company> The company share is mounted on child user's desktop. the inheritance bit is on on both comapny share and homes share. Issues are : if parent creates a folder inside company share folder the child user is able to open the folders . which i dont want to. : if if set the permission inheritance off, the above issue is solved. but if the parent creates a new folder inside a folder with read only then the permisson bits are not inherited
