I have configured
Mandrake Linux 9.0 as a member of a Win2K domain in an effort to integrate a
Linux file server in an existing Windows domain. I have configured Samba with
all the default setting. In Windows I can see the server and the share
properly.
The problem is that
I cannot modify any file and directory permissions from the PDC. All global
and share settings for Samba are as recommended by the Samba documentation and
still when I try to modify any file permission from Windows I get "Access
denied" error.
I tried on the Linux
box to give all possible privileges to the user that I am logged on as in
Windows, but this does not help. Strangely I can take ownership of a file or
directory, but even then I cannot modify permissions.
Can anyone give any
direction where should I be looking for the problem. The ultimate goal is to
replace a Novell file server with Linux I am not sure how to manage the
complex group and user file permissions that are currently on the Novell
server with Linux.
