The Samba "force user" option will fix this. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/23 <a href="mailto:general_email@technicalbloke.com">general_email@technicalbloke.com</a> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:general_email@technicalbloke.com">general_email@technicalbloke.com</a>></span><br>

<br>
In Ubuntu samba shares with guest write access (i.e. folders writeable<br>
by anyone on the network even without an account) result in unowned<br>
files being generated in said folders. When I need to edit these files<br>
(as I do, often) I have to chown them to my user and that is getting<br>
tedious now.<br>
<br>
I'm sure I remember using acls to get round this isue on a machine last<br>
year but I'm damned if I can remember exactly how I did it! I think the<br>
trick was using an ace to make all new files created in that folder<br>
members of a group and then make my user a member of that group. Does<br>
that sound right / plausible ? If so, can anyone enlighten me as to the<br>
syntax / procedure?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Roger.<br>
