[Hudlug] file permissions in Samba

[Simon Fox-Jones]

Dear all

I have a problem with permissions

I have a red hat 9 server running Samba for windows 2000 machines

The profiles for the machines seems ok.

I have set the General share to be be RWX root and RW group, Office

One of the shared files will not keep it's permisions

i.e

A share of General mapped to be the general drive for the win200 clients
On the general drive is a folder called quickbooks
One of the files need to be accesed by 2 users A and B


each of the users can access the file and it works..... however

If A accesses the file, afterwards the file permisions for the  group is
read only for the group and he becomes the owner.

I then set the permissions back to owner RWX and group RW and B can use the
file.

Again when I next look at the file B has become RWX as owner and the group
is read only

I want A and B to have RWX for the file


Does this make any sense to anyone???

best wishes
Simon
