Ok, yes, SID could be the issue. With each install of windows, there is a unique SID that gets created (I think). I recall seeing a caution about imaging W2k for this reason, the images will NOT have UNIQUE SID's. Anyone? There should be a way to cause windows to recreate a random sid? Finn

Brian, When you chmod g+s the parent directory does it also apply to subdirectories of that, or just the non-directory files immediately inside that directory? What I mean is, if I have a whole directory tree, and want everyone of a group to be able to access files in this tree, do I need to

[Samba] Windows 2k Home directories junk

2003-02-03 Thread Brent Torrenga
Has anyone had the home directories of some Windows 2000 users become inundated with thousands (15k or so) of directories all of a sudden? This is of course a samba share on the samba PDC. It really renders the H:\ pretty useless. It also seems to occur only if you are logged onto a certain

Yes, sorry about that... They look to be hexidecimal. Maybe up to 8 or 10 digits at most. Really odd, it seems like there may be directories named 0 through a really large heax number... As there are around 15000 of these directories, you can imagine how hard it is to really do a listing. Or do

Hello, Recycle bins creating the directory structure inside the .recycle directory have an issue I believe... ...at least how I have it setup :) The directories created in the .recycle directory have permissions only allowing access to the user who created it. Thus, if someone deletes
