[Robert Adkins]

Henry,

	I gave that a go and it didn't do the trick. Thanks for the quick   
response though.

force group = emergpo should do it, as opposed to
force group = @emergpo

you might also be having probs with using
        user = @emergpo
        valid users = @emergpo
        write list = @emergpo

try with just valid users = @emergpo

good luck!

Hello,

	I have an annoying little issue. I am currently running  Samba
2.2.5-10
as a Primary Domain Controller and have a number of shared drives with a   
    

 variety of differing users and user rights all over the place.

	In my smb.conf file, I have the following share:

	

	[emergpo]
        path = /share/purchasing/emergpo
        force directory mode = 0770
        create mode = 0770
        writeable = yes
        force create mode = 0770
        directory mode = 0770
        user = @emergpo
        force group = @emergpo
        valid users = @emergpo
        comment = For Emergency Purchase Orders
        wide links = no
        write list = @emergpo


	Now, from what I understand any new files that are created within
this
share should have the ownership be the following <username>:emergpo.
Unfortunately, that is not happening, what is happening is that both the   
    

user and the group ownership bit are set to the creator of the file.
Which is HIGHLY annoying since my phone is often inundated with calls
asking why they can't access a file located on said drive.

	I do know that if I were to set the permissions of all files to be
0777
then everyone with access to that drive will be able to do whatever they   
    

need to those files. Unfortunately, that is not what I wish to see in my   
    

Samba configuration.

	Is this something that would be "fixed" if I were to update to a
newer
release of Samba? I know that I should be updating to 2.2.7 to avoid the   
    

recent security issue. However, none of my users have the skills to even   
    

attempt simple hacks, let alone the slightly complex hack that is fixed   
    

with 2.2.7. I also have to many other things going on right this instant   
    

to test a 2.2.7 upgrade.

	Any pointers anyone has would be wonderful. Thanks for the
assistance.
