It worked for me after I changed the own-dir-read-only prohibition line in "source/smbd/dosmode.c": http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-December/086002.html http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/2002-December/086010.html but it's still an emotionally charged issue allowing a user to remove write privilege on his own dirs. My more general proposal was to also ignore the lack of write privilege on one's own directories at creation of new files. It's probably pending deliberations by IETF or some ad-hoc POSIX group :-) I support your conclusion that there should be more systematic ways of googleing currently known samba- related problems and solutions. This maillist should also be just a tad more moderated to screen out repeats of the same message, html-excesses, transmission artifacts (e.g. "=20" instead of " " and "=3D" instead of "="), spam mail etc. and generally beautify the postings for text-only viewers in my opinion. The question is, would you or I voluntarily put some work where our mouths are. Someone has to do it! It is work. It would certainly benefit the samba community and probably reduce the traffic in this mail list. Still, we can't demand such a facility unless we're ready to roll up our own sleeves. I guess you really only wanted to know if there are other (possibly digested) resources besides this mail list. Assuming there are, your posting sounded just a little overirritated, as if it's someone else's fault that they were unknown to you. Cheers Dragan Yes, it's very personal of me. There's a difference between "kibitzing" and "playing". _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
