Yes, but WHAT rw?
Samba doesn't demand the "other" rw bits to be set. Don't forget: Linux system permissions take precedence over Samba permissions.
If I have a file -rw------- 1 anton anton 2106714 Nov 18 2009 bookmarks.html then what?
If the user that samba presents to linux is anton, it will be RW to windows. Any other user, will be -r.
That's my point, as I went on to discuss in my original posting, the stuff you've snipped. SAMBA doesn't break Linux access controls. Let me repeat: Linux system permissions take precedence over Samba permissions. The kicker is to make use of ID. If the Windows users don't log on and identify themselves individually then all bets are off - you can't identify *who* is doing a particular operation. But if they do, you can make files and directories read-only with respect to specific users or groups of users. That's WINDOWS users. -- 'Faith' means not _wanting_ to know what is true. -- Nietzsche, Der Antichrist -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
