similar to: AW: "attrib +R myowndir" fails to write-protect my own dir

A trivial case: executing the following DOS command from the prompt line on a Win2K SP3: %windir%\system32\attrib.exe +R H:\dir can't set the R(eadonly) flag on my home dirs (2.2.7): drwxrwsr-x 4 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:59 . drwxr-sr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:59 dir -r--r--r-- 1 me users 0 Nov 27 17:59 empty.txt drwxr-sr-x 2 me users 4096 Nov 27 17:27

I hope Time won't take me to a CDMA court martial in Guantanamo for unfair use of your quotes, Daniel! The point is that each norm is only really valid in its original context. It is the spirit of the norm which should guide us. The idea is: you slap an unorthodox attribute onto an object to evoke any kind of practical magic and then laugh your sides off. Who cares? The same with Readonly.

Hi sambafolks, I see a number of topics cropping up here repeatedly over the last few weeks: * Files > 4GB not supported This is confirmed and solved in 2.2.7a, but not in the current incarnation of smbfs (which is not part of samba, I know, but will get discussed here as a related topic) * desktop.ini weirdness in profiles I've seen this mentioned a few times with no sign of a

Hi I cannot seem to find any information regarding this in the mailing lists . I am testing a UNIX PDC before I implement it to general use in the network . It works fine It would appear with the win 2000 clients. But I essentially have two problems 1. When I have PGP installed on the machine and log in with a roaming profile . It creates a network associates folder that does not get

Hi Everybody, I've recently installed 2.2.5 on a SuSE 8.1 box and found a discrepancy. I've scanned the whole mailing list for the problem but only found several postings claiming it not resolving it. In short: Folder links consisting of a write-protected directory with an SH (System, Hidden) "Desktop.ini" and an A (Archive) "target.lnk" don't replicate

Hi all, The two problems I'm having with ACLs on a W2k domain are still no closer to a solution. To wit, they were: (a) Users accessing the ACL properties dialog on W2k can modify and remove existing ACLs on a given file, but they cannot add new ones (that can only be done with setfacl on the cmdline; the changes are then recognised); (b) In said ACL properties dialog, the usernames

hi, i'm experiencying a strange problem with a mandrake 9.0 machine, kernel 2.4.19, samba (different versions, including latest). when I copy large amount of data from any win98 machine to a share directory on linux, after a random time the linux machine hangs; not responding even to ctrl-alt-canc, only possibility is to reset. I was using a realtek 8139 (driver 8139too) which I know

Hi Everybody, first the setup: logon path = \\pmn90\%U\profile logon drive = U: logon home = \\pmn90\%U [homes] valid users = %S read only = No inherit permissions = No security mask = 0777 directory security mask = 0777 browseable = No This setup mounts "/home/user-xy" under letter "U:".

Hello, I am building a linux/samba server to backup some nt servers and would appreciate some suggestions/pointers/criticisms etc... I googled for "samba backup" but could not find many similar solutions. need... Full/incremental network backups for 2=nt and 1=win2k servers. Ability to choose which folders/files get included/excluded. No software costs. motivation... Full drive

I thought that it was quite impossible to do that due to the Domain SID as well as the SAM list that currently Samba is unable to retrieve. (Not that it would have helped me any, since our old NT 4.0 PDC took a major Hardware failure.) How would one duplicate the SID, is that possible with 'smbpasswd -S' from the new Samba DC?

This patch allows net rpc vampire to create accounts in the same way that smbpasswd does, i.e. it will attempt to use the appropriate account creation function for the backend in use. From reading the comments on the top of the local_password_change function, either I shouldn't be going this route or local_password_change is due for some sort of change in status. The only major caveat I've

I've tried to determine this empirically, but have run foul of config issues that won't be resolved in the immediate future. Basically, I know that Samba + ACL + an acl-aware filesystem will allow me to assign unix-style permissions to arbitrary groups of people for a given file. However, Windows has additional permissions: delete, take ownership, and, um, I think possibly one or two more.

Hi, I set samba+ldap on redhat 8.0 as PDC. When user logon(win2000pro) ,they can load profiles but they can't write it on local drive(it says "Access Deny"). (In samba only it not happen.)

Perhaps you need to fix the SID in a couple of places.

I am unsure if that is quite possible... However, I think that it would be best to address this to a Windows Mailing list of some sort. There may well be an answer that you can alter to work with whatever Samba installation that you have. Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.
