Fwd: Re: Permissions problem

[Rob Hutton]

  I am still having this problem and have not been able to make any progress. 
 To review, I am trying to access shares on my PDC.  I can see the network 
from my Linux workstation, browse the network, and mount shares.  I can do 
likewise from a windows workstation to my linux workstation.  The problem 
comes when I try to modify or create anything on the PDC share.  Everything 
on the PDC shows up as root:root with -rwxr-xr-x permissions.  I have tried 
changing permissions, and get no errors, but nothing changes.  But if I su to 
root, then I can do everything I want.  From the NT side, permissions are set 
to full control/everyone.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob

Ownership on every file on the WINNT server shows up as root:root.  I was
doing a chmod 777, and the permissions didn't change.
