Re: [Samba] Preventing Windows from changing file permissions
Hi Jeremy, tms3, Thanks for your responses. I had tried nt acl support = no, but It didn't help. I tried placing it under my share [homes] and also under [global]. Both didn't help. The group and world write bits are getting set unless I prevent it by using a create mask. The application I am using is Beyond Compare on a Windows XP desktop. create mask is not what I want because I do not want any changes to the permission of Unix files - neither setting any bits nor clearing any.

[Samba] Preventing Windows from changing file permissions
Hi, Is there a way to configure samba such that Windows applications are not allowed to change file permissions for existing files in the share. I just want to be able to read and modify the files from Windows without affecting the file permissions inadvertently. I do not care about any Windows side file attributes such as ACL. I tried several things including parameters such as 'map archive = no', 'security mask = xxx' etc. Nothing seem to result in what exactly I want. This is surprising considering that my requirement is very simple. Is this possible in samba. thanks,Aneesh -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
