You'll need to modify your smb.conf file to force file permissions. You can set up directory and create masks in the [globals] section like so: directory mode = 0777 create mode = 0666 These will keep files and directories world readable. You may also want to force the files to belong to any group or user you want with force group = groupname force user = username See http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#FORCEGROUP for more info > Any pointers much appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Neil. -- Michael Knepher <limbo@bluethingy.com> -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
