[Samba] disappointed with complete lack of help.

[Bruno Guerreiro]

Hi,
Maybe I can help reduce that disappointement.
When you say in you 25th January message 
"Directory and file permissions should probably be 700?"
What directory are you talking about? Home dir? If so, then your right...
Still assuming you're talking only about home dirs, I assume that
dirname=unix_username=win_username.
If so, then it's not difficult to make a bash/perl/whatever script which
does:
chown -R <user>:"Domain Users" <userdirectory>
I think this may still be the best approach.
As for your comments, you should be thankful that people, who receive
nothing for doing it, take their time to read your messages. I too have
posted here some questions with no reply whatsoever, and that doesn't mean
i'll start say that "the claim of better support from the open source
community because there are so many active people is a farce"

Best regards,
Bruno Guerreiro

I sent a request for help on the 21st of January....I waited.....I sent it
again on the 24th....I waited.... I sent the same question crafted
differently on the 25th.... I waited.

The help on this list is horrible..... I am sorry for whining.

I talk up open source regularly and I help when I can..... but, the claim
of "better" support from the open source community because there are so
many active people is a farce....

I see people discussing the semantics of what uptimes should or should not
be, but no help.

So, I will struggle on my own a bit longer.

So, I thank the Samba group for a great tool, I just can't thank them for
the help, and yes, in the past I have made financial contributions to the
group.  Small, but more than many.
