Hi, I am relatively new to Samba although I've installed it and used it before my knowledge is very shallow.
Environment: Samba version is: 3.0.21a Platform: Sun X4200 M2, AMD Opteron running Solaris 10 Client: Windows Vista Situation: I am trying to allow a user to copy folders from her desktop system to the SMB share that is mounted on her computer. I am using a different login to mount the share on her computer. The login was created on the server side. After copying a folder to the server she can't delete the folder. The login used to mount the share is the owner of the folder and the permissions are set to 755. So, I went to the command line and tried to delete the folder and it prompted me to verify that I wanted to delete each subfolder that was protected. But, when I create a folder/file in this folder from the command line I can delete it with no questions asked. Looking at the permissions from the Window side I only have Read & Execute and Read permission on each file in the folders. If I don't have permission to write I shouldn't have permission to delete either. The question: Why is it that I am the owner of the folder/files, I have Read/Write/Execute Unix permission as the owner (755) but I can't delete the folder after copying it to the server? Gripe session: (Ignore this if you don't have time or don't care) I originally had planned to allow the user to have 2 mount points on the same server using different logins. Didn't realize that SMB protocol allows only one login to the server at a time. What is up with that? So, I had to reorganize the folders and permissions to allow 3 users to only see their folder whilst the other user can see hers and the other 3 user's folders.
