I didn't reply-all -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: samba config Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 12:08:38 -0500 From: Douglas Egan <degan@calcon.net> To: Blake Swensen <blake@pyramus.com> References: <4.2.2.20010523211955.00b7b930@pop3.palace.net> <3B0D3CB7.9169C623@pyramus.com> One nasty problem I ran into was when doing backups of the unix share. Windows has the archive bit as one of its file attributes. Unix doesn't have this, so by default, Samba maps the the archive bit to the unix owner execute bit. If the mapping is left on, Samba will turn on the user 'x' permission for each and every file you access. Also if you run a backup from your PC on the share, this bit gets cleared and user execute permissions go away. This burned me bad once. Using 'swat' go to "advanced view" for your share and set the "map archive" off if you don't want this default behavior. Doug Egan Blake Swensen wrote: > Rational... no.
