<SNIP> This has never worked for me. Files created inherit the group of the directory, but not the owner. I have even followed, line for line, the sequence on that page as follows:
# chmod 6775 /foodbar $ ls -al /foodbar/.. You should see: drwsrwsr-x 2 jack engr 48 2003-02-04 09:55 foodbar # Now type: $ su - jill $ cd /foodbar $ touch Afile $ ls -al You should see that the file Afile created by Jill will have ownership and permissions of Jack, as follows: -rw-r--r-- 1 jack engr 0 2003-02-04 09:57 Afile That all works right up until the last line, where I see the file owner is jill, not jack. Maybe I've misunderstood this, <END SNIP> Sue, It looks to me that the owner and group are still the same, there is no mention of jill anywhere. If you mean the permissions are wrong, then you need to look at your smb.conf file again to make sure you set the permissions flag correctly. What is your smb.conf for this section?
