If you're using Samba, the settings you want to look at are in /etc/samba/smb.conf Note that the comments in mine describe the -defaults- which I long ago changed: # By default, the home directories are exported read-only. Change next # parameter to 'yes' if you want to be able to write to them. writable = yes # File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to # create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775. create mask = 0755 # Directory creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to # create dirs. with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775. directory mask = 0755 So what I upload is 'world readable' so SBS can read it. I believe ubuntu has a pretty gui interface to this, but that machine has no monitor and sits in a cabinet, so not like I run a gui on it. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80300 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
