Hmmm, I set directory setting to chmod 773, but then I can't read or 
write anymore to files in this dir:

drwxrwx-wx    3 root     root         4096  1. Aug 05:23 .
-rwxrwxr--    1 root     root         3418  1. Aug 03:44 pool.ini
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root         3418  1. Aug 03:44 pool2.ini

I connect from windows as a user from group "all other" (-wx). Reading 
pool.ini is not possible anymore, as well as writing to pool2.ini.

What's my mistake?

Thank you,
Marcus
