Edit SAMBA share permissions from NT

[Nigel Williams]

with 2.2 the server process must be running with a uid of 0 to add/delete
shares and change share permissions.

The 'admin users' parameter can be used to designate users that will run as
root when connected.  Be very careful with this, everything is done as root.

If you look at the 'runas' command in win2k help it gives an example of how
to start the computer management mmc as another user.

You can run this mmc as your 'admin user' while logged in as yourself then
use it to manage shares.

If you add a share name of C$ or any other single letter followed by a
dollar for that matter, this share will show up in the browse box when
selecting a directory to associate with a new share.  Directories created
from this dialogue below this point will however be owned by root.

Subject: Edit SAMBA share permissions from NT


Hi.

I have a question regardless to changing share permissions from Win2000/NT.
When I enter the share properties, I can see the users list from my Linux
SAMBA server . When I try to change share permissions, I get "Access Denied
"
message. Is there any way to edit these permissions from NT? May be acting
SAMBA as a PDC would help?

Thanks.
