Hello All:
The fellow who set up our LINUX file server is not available so I am
hopeful someone can point me in the right direction. We have recently moved
all of our files from our NT server to the "New" Linux server.. On all of
the workstations that are running Windows 200 Pro all is fine. I have 3 new
workstations with XP Pro and in these we are having problems with file
permissions. Somehow the files are being changed to Read Only and I am
constantly having to go into the Linux server and update permissions. Aside
from a lot of extra work for me the users are going nuts...
My knowledge of LINUX is EXTREMELY limited. We are running Redhat Fedora
with a KDE interface.
TIA
David

Hello,
I never had this problem but I'm studying at the university of computer
science and I know that there are some shell scripts who can change
permissions automatically for all the files in a directory AND in its
"under" directories. It's probably possible to find such scripts. The shell
script will be a file that you simply launch and who will change recurcively
all of the permissions.

This is likely to be one of two problems.
I suspect that the areas you are talking about are shared areas. For
example /home/sales in which case it is likely to be a group rights
setting.
Alternatively, MS seems to have a thing where if it can not properly
determine what the rights should be, it makes a peculiar half choice. Some
users might of seen this if they have mapped a drive partition to their
own XP home directory. MS gives you a read only that sometimes even the
admin account can not do anything with. This is wrong of cause, if it
can't determine what the rights should be, it should give none.
I'm going to point you to another post I did on the mandrake news group,
in the thread I went through adding a new hard drive, then in another post
in the same thread I went through permissions and samba including the
likely problems with MS Win machines connecting to it.
The google search, in the groups part is,
mandrake bearitall bios hd fdisk
Oh, and tell your bosses to take better care of their IT staff, then they
wont leave you stranded :))

And David Allison [davida@churchinthefarms.com] confused OE posters
with...
Hello All:
. Somehow the files are being changed to Read Only and I am
constantly having to go into the Linux server and update permissions.
If you are "sharing out" the files using SAMBA, there's an option to
state what permissions the files/directories should take when being
written.
Check /etc/samba/smb.conf (or thereabouts) on the old server, comparing
configs between this and the new server.

This sounds like the Samba Create mask is not set properly.
What is in the Samba.conf file?
