>> Hi guys,
>>
>> How are you ?
>>
>> We have a share named [userprofile] on our Samba-3.0.9 server where each 
>> users' profile is stored.
>> Fairly often a user which is not the user that owns the profile i.e and 
>> admin, needs to copy files into other users' profile folders.
>> The problem which then arises is that the user who owns the profile is 
>> unable to access the new files, due to the UNIX permissions being set to 
>> the person who copied the files into the directory.
>> I've looked through the smb.conf and found the "inherit permissions" 
>> parameter and tried it but cannot seem to get it to work ?
>>
>> In my smb.conf for the [userprofile] share I have the following:
>> [userprofile]
>> path = /data/userprofile
>> read only = no
>> guest ok = yes
>> profile acls = yes
>> browseable = no
>> csc policy = disable
>> share modes = no
>> inherit permissions = yes
>>
>> If the administrator connects to \\server\userprofile\user1 and writes a 
>> file named "test.txt" into the directory the permissions from the 
>> directory "user1" are not propagated down to the new file.
>> My permissions on the "user1" directory are set as follows:
>> drwx----- 16 user1     users     4096 2005-01-21       user1/
>>
>> The file "test.txt" gets written with the following permissions:
>> -rw------ 16 root     Domain Admins     0 2005-01-21  07:07     test.txt
>>
>> Any ideas on how I get samba to write it so that the owner of the folder 
>> propagates to new files written into the folder even if a domain admin 
>> writes them there ?
>>
>> Many thanks.
