I'm not confused by wanting to make everything read only, just by why you'd set "read only = no" (which makes everything writable) and then set "writable = no" (which makes it read only again). Mostly I'm just being facetious. In either case, you may note that according to the man page, shares are read only by default anyway, unless specifically made writable. The "homes" share defaults to being writable (read only = No in the config file), because only the user that owns the directory can log in to it. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
