[Samba] Inherit permissions question (Please help)

[David Wilson]

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your reply and the information.
Will the "s"-Bit cause all new files that are written by a "Domain Admin" to 
the user1/ folder to be owned by "user1" ?

My problem is that "Domain Admins" can write to users' folders in the 
[userprofile] share but then the respective user who owns the folder can't 
access the new data in it.
The "inherit permisions" would solve my problem except that it does not 
allow user/group ownership to be passed down onto files.
Any ideas ? :)

Thank you for your help so far.

Kindest regards
David Wilson
