Just to be clear: you restored the data from a backup, but you did not restore the samba config from a backup, right? If so, then I'd look hard at your samba config and make sure it's correct. You should also check the permissions on the parent directory -- the directory that contains the samba share. Make sure that is the same as it was in your original setup. You seem to be saying that a user cannot copy and paste a file from a samba share to his desktop unless the file itself has unix write permissions on it. That should not be. Are you sure the users are not trying to *cut* and paste? That would require write permissions, since it involves deleting the file from its original location. -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
