Garh!
So I have a perl script that runs on Windows.
It runs on windows because it needs to stuff
some user numbers into a spreadsheet
via Win32::OLE, let the spreadsheet calculate
new values, and then generate some text files.
Users run the script from Windows
and the script ends up creating a directory
and a handful of files in it.
Users then go over to the linux side of things,
go into this newly created directory and
run a bunch of commands there manually.
The problem I'm seeing is that the files
created from windows are all owned by "65530".
When the users go to the unix side and try
to run stuff, it looks like they're gettting permission
problems, and now I'm wondering if the problem
is the fact that the directory and files are all
created from windows, through Samba,
to what is actually a unix drive.
Is there a way to pass owner information along
somehow when I'm creating these files so
I can say they belong to 'london' rather than
65530? Or maybe there's a way to change
the owner once the directory and files are
created? I'd like to fix this from the windows
side if possible because that's where my
script exists, then it would be transparent
to the users that extra stuff is being done.
And I need this working before 5 pm or I'm sunk.
Greg
