At first, can you read/write files into the share without no authentication from Windows *manually*?
Their suggestion is to archive that, not to take ownership of a file. According to your description, ----- A program I used in windows is able to create folders and files but unable to have ownership of the folder ... once the folder is created, it is lock. ----- it seems that what you want is not to set all read/write share, instead you have to set that your Windows program can take ownership of a file on Samba share. If you want to take ownership to myself, you need that (1) set "dos filemode = yes" and set the file writeable. or (2) have SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege user rights If you want to set ownership to any user, you need that (1) access as root (uid = 0) or (2) have SeRestorePrivilege user rights I recommend that at first you try to take ownership a file manually. And I think that these features are probably not tested with "security = share", so you had better set "security = user" and proper settings. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu <mo...@samba.gr.jp> -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
