No, the brace is in the right place for a file of comments (a Perl "eval" of that block returns nothing). It needs to be moved if you uncomment the lines. > [...] > When I logon as a test user, I get an error that it can't write the profile > to \\agatha\Profiles\test4.pds.

Can someone explain what the > one above is for? It's not the sticky bit. The set-group id bit above means that group ownership is inherited when subdirectories are created. The sticky bit would be a terminal 't' (instead of the x) which means that only users can delete their files (see /tmp, /var/tmp). If it must be world-writable (yecch), it needs to be sticky as well. > I've left this for the moment, rather than making the profiles directory > world writable. > [...] Could you make it world-writable and log in as the test user again? Then do an "ls -l" so we can see what it looks like.
