[Samba] Changing file permissions from the command line

[O'Reilly, Fintan]

Hi,

I run Samba 2.2.3a (Solaris 7) in domain authentication mode in a Windows
2000 domain. I would like to be able to script file permissions changes from
the Windows side using a command line utility, e.g. cacls, however I have
only been successful in changing the UNIX world permisssions, not owner and
group. A summary follows. Has anyone come across a solution for this?

Thanks,

Fintan
