Two issues, and I'll discuss them both: I created on my NT4 domain a group called "branch99". They're a "local group" as far as NT is concerned, and it has two members; myself, and another fellow down the hall. My end quest is to create a share on a Mandrake 9.2 box running Samba 2.2.8, and have it permit or deny file access based on NT's typical discretions.
Using a recipe found in "Linux for Windows Administrators", I set up the following smb.conf file: [global] name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins server = 172.16.128.1 wins support = no domain master = no local master = no os level = 10 preferred master = no workgroup = MARTIN server string = ZEKEJAX Test netbios name = ZEKEJAX security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd The group in question is this: [branch99test] comment = Branch 99's Test Share path = /home/branch99 valid users = @branch99 browseable = yes read only = no create mode = 0660 directory mode = 0770 I have already successfully joined the domain. There is another (liberal rules) share that I can get to with no problems at all. I can even double-click the "branch99test" share, and see the file that appears (a single text file created from the Mandrake box; even my Windows box can open it). But I can't write (create) in the directory. Can anyone postulate as to why? I don't mind if kstovall (not a member of "branch99") can't do it, but I'm in that group, and I can't do it from an XP or 98 box joined to the domain. Thanks!
