Hi,
i have been having problems with a SAMBA shared directory and user permissions. My smb.conf file is simple and allows for members of 'wwwdev' access the directory, and they can when i test it, but we get all kinds of problems with the permissions on various files and directories:
It would help if you said exactly what those problems are.
sure. i realised i didn't explain just after i sent the mail. doh!
ok: i want really open access 'a-la-windows' style to all files under a certain directory tree to users in a particular group. at the moment, i am having to chown all files over to whom ever is editing them at any given time.

You might also need to set the directory mode on the share.
cool, what would you suggest?
i assume this is a ownership issue on the unix file system side, although i have opened up the permissions to 'pants down in public' level ....
drwxrwxrwx -rwxrwxrwx
So, what is the problem? Do these permissions and/or the file ownerships get altered when accessed by a Windows client?
i would have assumed that because the two users were in the same group they could access the same files in turn without chown-ing.
