Hi Rowland, when saying 'I' I theoretically meant any user that has write access to the share. It should be possible to right click the directory in windows, the go to security tab and remove the write permissions on the directory. This behaviour already works with files, I'm trying to figure out how to make it also work for directories.

Hi Rowland, my users are known to the OS, they also have the correct permissions to alter the settings. Doing so on the CLI does work when logged in via SSH. When opening the Security Tab the users and groups are displayed, only on directories there are no checkmarks under Read, Write etc. I also cannot set any checkmarks for Read, Write etc. When viewing the Security Tab of a file everything works and I can see and set the checkmarks. Do you know what could be wrong? Greetings, Felix -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Im Auftrag von Rowland Penny Gesendet: Dienstag, 4.
