Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your reply and the information.
Will the "s"-Bit cause all new files that are written by a "Domain Admin" to the user1/ folder to be owned by "user1" ?
My problem is that "Domain Admins" can write to users' folders in the [userprofile] share but then the respective user who owns the folder can't access the new data in it.
The "inherit permisions" would solve my problem except that it does not allow user/group ownership to be passed down onto files.
Any ideas ? :)
Thank you for your help so far.
Kindest regards David Wilson _______________________________ D c D a t a Tel +27 33 342 7003 Fax +27 33 345 4155 Cell +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Linux, driven by passion ! _______________________________

Subject: Re: [Samba] Inherit permissions question (Please help)
Hallo David Wilson,
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/
I thing it makes Life easyer when you change the Group Owner to "Domain
Admins" and set the "s"-Bit and the Permissions to 770 on the userx/ Directorys.
So every "Domain Admin" can write files on the directorys.
Try this (or do this on a higher Directory Level):
drwxrws-- 16 user1 Domain Admins 4096 2005-01-21 user1/
Hope it helps. Greetings Thomas
