Hai All,

My Problem is Managing File permission in Samba Share...
Through Windows XP...

Details....
  I am having a Samba File server that managing 6 TB Volume,
i divided it to 6 equal Volumes... so each share is.. 1 TB,
and assigned each volume for different Projects...
in each projects more then 500 Ppls are working...
About the servers performance.. and load balancing...
everything is working fine.. with me....

My problem is Setting the permission only...
in each project... not all but many peoples need.. full permission..
So in group wise.. i assigned it to for particular folders
here is my problems starts....
while the ppl who having full permission, create a folder or file..
the ownership comes as in their name only...
so none other cant open it... Till i change the ownership..
to "domain administrator" in Linux using chown command
and reset the permissions from Windows...
Help me if anyone have the idea to overcome this situation..
i cant use.... "force user =" option... because..
that giving the same access to all users...

My Samba servers and all WindowsXP Clients are Authenticating
through Windows 2003 ADS

samba version samba-3.0.14a-1 is recompiled with "--with-acl-support"
is running in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9-11.EL)
