Thanks for your help. I looked up ACL's, it was then it clicked, our engineering department head likes to tinker! It turns out he had been right clicking on folders from his Windows XP workstation and trying to add user rights through the advanced area in permissions tab. So he had added this...

Probably an easy one but, alas, not for me it would seem. Using SuSE Enterprise Server v9 and Samba v3, have a share with a few people using and some of the folders and files created have the file attribs rwxr=xr-x+ ?? What is the plus sign for? why is it at the end of the permissions...

We are with Telewest and are unfortunate enough to have one of these ip numbers that is being blocked. We have an Exchange 5.5 server that sends out mail from this ip address but more of our emails are being blocked. There is a relay ip address I can send all our outgoing emails to, and I can...

It doesn't sound like samba, maybe something installed on your windows client pc causing this?

Hi, Has anyone any experience of this software, we currently use Exchange 5.5, which to be honest has been pretty good and reliable. Was thinking of moving away from Microsoft though and considered SuSE's open exchange server, currently converting to SuSE Enterprise Server 9 + Samba for our...

OK Premature -- the share isn't working properly with the VFS Object loaded, windows clients can't read even .jpg files properly when it is loaded. I may well just buy a good AV for the server, save all this hassle. Cheers Alan

Hi there,! Am back at work this morning :(( and tried what you said, and yes, DPSL share is working, the av seems to be working also, it denies access to infected files, no read or execute allowed. I get this in the log.smbd file on SMBD startup though: [2005/01/24 09:11:53, 0]...

Not too sure if I'll get any responses on this -- trying to set up ClamAV to scan my Samba shares as files are opened, Have downloaded Clam AV 0.80 stable and ran freshclam -- got this: ClamAV update process started at Fri Jan 21 11:46:25 2005 main.cvd is up to date (version: 29, sigs: 29086...

OK, Just in case anyone else has the same problem, I found that if you set up Samba, that setting a umask at the console will work but not for Samba. If you have windows machines mapped to your samba share you have to add these lines to your shares: create mask = directory mask = inherit...

I'm googling and reading now -- looks as though your right Ken.

Hmmm, I must have skipped that part. :)

Hi all, I have read soo much material, and now doubt I will continue to read it. I am trying to set up a simple file server with Suse Linux 9 Enterprise and Samba 3, I'm at the initial testing stages right now and I'm trying out making users and folders etc. I have 3 users so far on my...

Hello all, Could one of you sharp cookies out there recommend good software for on-access samba file share anti virus scanning? We are (that means me boss yes?) going to be setting up a Suse Linux Ent 9 server with Samba 3.0 and I need an anti-virus solution. Been looking at the Bit-Defender...

Hey, I found it, forget that last question -- my head is in another country today. -u for update. ;)
