Hello all,
I'm having a problem with our Tape Backup user not being able
to clear the archive bit on files after the backup has been completed (we're
running ArcServe 2000 on a Windows NT box). After looking into it closer, it
looks like Samba will only permit the archive bit to be cleared if the file is
owned by the tape backup user. Even if the tape backup user is part of the
same group as the file and the file has group read/write
permissions.
This is a serious problem because it causes the tape backup
software to continually backup ALL files. We do not want to change the ownership
of each file to that of our tape backup user, because this breaks our file
system quota support mechanism.
Is there a magic flag that can be set in the smb.conf file
that permits a user who has group read/write access from setting/clearing the
archive bit?
We're running Samba 2.2.0a, on a quad-SMP Linux 2.2.15 kernel
box.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please reply to
this email as well as the list.
Many thanks,
Stephan.
