I don't understand Windows permissions under Samba.
I am running an smb server under CentOS-5.4,
and have a Windows XP Pro machine ("harriet") as a client.I have set up shares C and D on harriet corresponding to the 2 drives C: and D: on the machine, and I have asked that files should be shared. Now when I mount harriet:C I can see the top level folders, but cannot see Documents and Settings\tim although I can enter the All Users and Default User folders: ---------------------------------------- [...@helen samba]$ sudo mount -t cifs harriet:C /mnt/win Password: [...@helen samba]$ cd /mnt/win [...@helen win]$ cd Documents\ and\ Settings/ [...@helen Documents and Settings]$ ls All Users Default User deirdre LocalService NetworkService roisin tim [...@helen Documents and Settings]$ ls tim ls: reading directory tim: Permission denied [...@helen Documents and Settings]$ ls Default\ User/ Application Data Desktop Local Settings NetHood NTUSER.DAT.LOG Recent Start Menu Cookies Favorites My Documents NTUSER.DAT PrintHood SendTo Templates [...@helen Documents and Settings]$ ls All\ Users/ Application Data Desktop Documents DRM Favorites Lx_cats Start Menu Templates ---------------------------------------- I don't understand; What do changes do I have to make to enter "tim"s folder; and why amd I able to enter "Default User". Any help or enlightenment gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
