I am trying to create a master share that contains all the other shares. I created a group that needs read+write permission to all the other shares. However, rather than adding this group in each share configuration, I was wondering if there is a way to overwrite the permission. I tried this but gave read-only access. Also in the linux level, I don't have this master group as the owner. Any

I have 19 servers with this smb.conf share definition working: [export] comment = Exported Files path = /tmp/export guest ok = Yes On the 20th server however, this just doesn't want to work. I've gone through the basics of guest access and permissions more than a few times trying to figure this one out. Approaching this from another angle, I tried the following

I've got a paranoid client who has a samba server on a small LAN who wants to know if and when any of his employees 'transfer' (read, copy off etc) any more than a certain threshold of data a day from the server, I think he's worried that some employee may grab a lot of stuff off the server and then share it with his competition. I tried to explain that this wasn't a very

smb.conf states "This user must exist in the passwd file, but does not require a valid login" What exactly does this mean? As I understand it, adding a user with 'smbpasswd -a nobody' automatically gives it a valid login. My reasons for asking are; I added myself to passdb.tdb with my passwd. I added the 'nobody' user to passdb.tdb with no passwd. I then logged in to

I'm trying to install some income tax software to a Samba (Debian 3.2.5 i386) share and I'm getting the above error. I've tried resolving it through the Windows knowledge base, which suggested it was the Windows Installer running as a local system account but even granting guest access to the directory and granting everyone rwx rights didn't help. They also suggested

If I set up a room of Win XP Pro w/SP2 systems, hardened via local policy and gpedit.msc, and add them to a samba domain running from an unpatched, out-of-box install of RHEL 5.0, how will the local XP policies differ from any changes I make to pdbedit on the Samba side?

Hi all, I'm trying to find a way to make the C# FilesystemWatcher class distinguish between Linux mixed lower and upper case files on a Samba share. E.g., file A is called abc.JPG and file B is abc.jpg, and Linux knows that's two files - now, when I delete such a file via a Samba share, both files A and B are deleted. I did not find a solution at Google or in this list, so any help or

Is this
