Hi Gerry,
Thanks for your reply.
OK, that makes sense. Unfortunately I can't use the "force user" option on the share due to the sub folders in the share being owned separately by other users (600+ of them).
If the administrator(root) had to write a file (test.txt) to the user1 folder and I had "inherit permissions" turned on, then file would be written as:
rwx------ 16 root Domain Admins 0 2005-01-21 07:07 test.txt
Unfortunately I need "user1" to own the file, just like it's parent directory, which is as follows:
drwx----- 16 user1 users 4096 2005-01-21 user1/
The problem is that I have other users in the same "userprofile" share, which each need to own their own profile folder and files in them.
Perhaps configuring filesystem ACLs and turning on "inherit acls" would help ?
Any ideas ? :)
Perhaps I need to write a "postexec" script that looks at the user's folder name, which corresponds to the username and does a "chmod -R [user] [user]" on the folder after data is written to it ?
Thank you for your assistance so far, greatly appreciated !

Inherit permissions set file bits not the owner. You might have more luck with the 'force user' option. But be careful of granting more access than you intend.
