Gary, I tried adding the username=fileserver,domain=msheimnetz but it has no effect. I am a bit confused, as the "credentials=/home/.auth" file already contains this info, and it connect 100% with no username password request. If I can explain it better: I can connect to the share, read the files, and even copy them, but can not save them. If I view the permissions the files are listed as belonging to admin(UID 501 on local machine) and it should say fileserver(UID 501 on remote machine). The current user in this case is user5(UID 507 on local machine) Thus no matter what I do I keep getting the problem that the users can't save the files, cause the UID mapping is not made. Is there not a way to tell Samba that files belong to the remote UID rather than the local UID. And if I authenticate as the remote user, why is the local UID being used when writing? All I actually need is a common shared fileserver. No fancy rights, or anything, just a shared network drive that everyone can use to save documents, no permissions required really. Maybe I am going about this the wrong way. Thanks for the reply :) -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
