similar to: file permissions problem; please help

Hi All, I was hoping someone can help me with a small problem. I have a 5 user Samba network running on Red Hat 6. One user is set up to have root equivalence but he only has read-only access to files created by other users (its also fair to say that the other users only have read-only access to each others files). I have tried messing around with the Linux permissions on the files concerned (in

Hello all, I'm relatively new to linux, and an absolute neophyte to Samba. I have installed the Samba server (samba-2.2.4-2) on my linux box and have it networked to a pc running Windows98. (this is where my development environement resides) I can transfers any files from my Linux box (share=ptpl) to my Windows pc, however when I try to to transfer files the other way (a write to the

G'day, I'm in the process of fixing a long broken rsync backup on a couple of servers. The old system rsync'd a Linux (CentOS 5) server onto a Opensolaris/OpenIndiana server but didn't worry about ownership or permissions, across an expensive WAN link. All the ownerships and permissions are different to the original box on the OI box. I now have a virtual CentOS 5 box that I

I am having difficulty in try to preserve permissions on Unix files that are copied from the samba server onto a Windows98 system, and then copied again via samba back to an 'upload' directory on the samba server. Specifically, I am sharing "/etc" (samba read only) for backup purposes, and while logged in as "root" on the windows system, I can drag and drop these files

Hi, We're running Samba version 1.9.16p2 under Solaris 2.5.1 (w HW update 11/97). Our PCs run Windows95 with Network Neighborhood and a few have been upgraded to Windows98. I am currently looking at upgrading to Samba 1.9.18p10. On Fri., 12/4 one of our users reported when she selecting Entire Network she received the error "Unable to browse the network. The specified computer

I'm seeing behavior that I was hoping somebody could explain. I have a share set up that will be a repository for company-wide data. There are three classes of people who can access it, readers, read/writers, and admins. Readers and read/writers are self explanatory, admins have read/write access, and can change the permissions/ownership of files. Read and write access is controlled by

After changing some ownerships in my rails app directory to try to get Radrails to work I''m getting the following error when I try to run any rails app: [Thu Apr 06 22:16:01 2006] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission denied: FastCGI: failed to connect to (dynamic) server "/var/rails/tutorial/public/dispatch.fcgi": something is seriously wrong, any chance the

The only circumstance where i could see symlink ownership being an issue would be in the case where one might need to be changed, on those systems which support that. Most i've seen delete and recreate the link, so if the person needing to own the link has write, with no sticky bit, on the containing directory,, he's good to go. Can anyone see another issue? Certainly, the whole

Running rsync 2.4.7pre1, using the --backup-dir option, I just realized today that file ownerships and permissions of backed up files are not preserved. In other words, if rsync moves an obsolete file to the backup dir, it's ownership seems to revert to root:root, and permissions change, as well. We are also using the -a (archive) option, by the way, which should mean "preserve

Sorry if this is a faq, known issue, or otherwise easy to solve problem - have searched lists, docs, web etc, and don't find answer. I have a Samba server (3.0.14) running on a remote (Debian) fileserver. Most workstations are OSX or Solaris and the shares on the fileserver are NFS mounted on those machines. I now need to mount the fileserver on a Windows XP laptop. I can successfully

I am transferring some files from a RH7.0 machine to a RH7.2 machine as root with a cron job, using the following: rsync -avt /home homeserver::home rsync -avt /etc homeserver::etc Some of the files transfer OK, but I get: building file list ... done failed to set permissions on home : Operation not permitted home/brad/ home/ftp/bin/ home/ftp/etc/ home/ftp/pub/ home/rsyncuser/ failed to set

Dear David, I have the same bad password problem with my windows98 workstation. I have spent quiet a bit of time analysing this problem but still could not find any resolution.

Hi all I have a linux(susse) running samba and am trying to connect from windows98. I have no problem seeing the linux computer in the network neigbourhood. I can also see the folders shared from it.

When editing a WORD document (or Excel, and probably others), the revised file written back to the UNIX home directory loses its original ownership, group-ownership and permissions (modes) and gets a default set (me, my
