Hi, here is a Linux-Samba-MSOffice cuestion:
my server is Linux RedHat 7.1 with Samba 2.2.5-1 and my workstations are Win9x with MSOffice97, — so far, so good — our samba is configured in such way that permit access to every one to the “/users” directory
[users]
comment = workgroup directorie
path = /users
browseable = yes
writable = yes
in this directorie we have some subdirectories for some people and some subdirectories for other people (this is by Unix propertieschmod, chgrp, chown), ok here is the problem…..
When Office open an existing file it creates a temporary new file in which the owner is the user that open the file and the group is the user’s group. When the user save the file, samba remove theoriginal file and rename the temporary file to the original file name, so if I already have some other group assign to that file I lost that group.
HOW CAN I DO TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL UNIX PROPERTIES???
Note: in some cases the properties of the fileare not the same of the directorie where it belongs.
Thank You.
