[Samba] admin user

[Robert Adkins]

Judy,

	I am using a combination of CLI, Webmin and SWAT for configuring my   
Smaba installation here at the office. (BTW, I am using the same OS and   
Samba Release as you) Inside the Webmin module for Swat, under the   
individual shares, there is a section on permissions. In that section,   
there is a place to force all new files created in that share to be owned   
by certain users and groups. I would recommend forcing a group   
permission, unless this folder is only accessible by the one user.

	There are also some settings to disallow symlinks (VERY important for   
security.) and a few other little settings. Once you set those, you can   
save it and then view your smb.conf file in your favorite editor.

	I highly recommend saving a copy of your currently working smb.conf   
file, as Webmin will rewrite the whole thing for you with a number of its   
own default settings which WILL break something. It only appears to   
breaks things the first time it accesses the smb.conf file...

	Anyway, good luck.

Regards,

Hello.
  I am running samba 2.2.5 on Redhat 7.3.  I wanted to give a user1
administrative privileges, so in smb.conf, under [global], admin users =
user1.  When user1 is on a PC and creates a file in MSWord and saves it   
in
his directory, the default permissions aren't preserved for user1.
Instead, the owner of that file becomes root.  Is there any way I can set
samba so that the owner of the file is preserved as user1?  (Also, the
group that user1 is in isn't preserved in the file permissions either).
Thank you in advance.
