Thanks Mogens for your response:
My answers below.
Have you moved the files and users from the old server?
==> no I transferred the physical disk. Normally the users are transferred too but this machine is just used as a server for my business and family data and I don't use it very much locally. Not only the homes are to be exported but also 3 disks /data1 to 3.
Are the owner of the home directories the one you would expect, i.e.
does the user xyz own the directory /home/xyz:
ls -ld /home/xyz
(replace xyz with some real owners).
==> the ownership of the /data1 /data2 /data3 and home/xxx directories is to root root
that might be it?
How do I change it (sorry newcomer's question) I know there is chown and chgrp but how do you apply them in this case?
What does the command testparm write?
==> testparm output below (thanks for reminding me, I haven't touched samba for 2 yrs...)
How come that the permission masks are not set to all 0777 as I supposedly changed them from swat? swat does not seem very reliable???
