locking files, and directory permissions.

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Marc,
Don't know about your locking issue, but afraid you're stuck on the root
thing;  basically if samba sees that you are on the admin users list, your
UID is gonna be set to 0, like it or not.  force user won't do you any good
(unless you are forcing a user who is NOT on the admin list), as the user
you are forcing to is STILL on the admin list, and your uid is STILL gonna
be 0.  This hearkens back to the old unix adage - ya don't log on as root
unless ya need to do root stuff.  IE,
have a normal logon where you do your work, and an admin users logon that
you use for admin stuff.

Hope this helps,
Don

Subject: locking files, and directory permissions.


since upgrading my system to samba 2.2.0 I am having a problem with my 
logon script getting locked, so that when users log on, they are not 
getting the proper drive mappings.  I have attached the appropriate chunks 
of my smb.conf.

Another problem I am having is that when I include my self as an admin 
user, and save a file on my home drive, it saves it as root.  is there a 
way to force any files written to a home directory to be saved with the 
permissions of the owner of that directory.  I tried to use force user = %u 
with no luck.
