Hi,

 

So i've got the Linux user authentication working with Windows Server with Likewise-open tutorial used: http://terraltech.com/joining-ubuntu-to-ms-active-directory-domain/

and that works fine, can SSH from the local or other machines

 

Then I wanted to have a share where users can save their files (on server rather than local machine), this was done with CIFS using this tutorial: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

And yes it does connect to the server and gets the files

 

BUT the problem is the permissions. The folder has right to all admins and the local user itself (no other user can make / modify files)

So from Linux the root user can edit the folder, the other local users cannot which I am fine with

However, the problem is when I log in as the user e.g. test1, I cannot edit the folder???

Even logging in as the Administrator on the Windows Server

 

Is this because of Likewise? 

So the path to the folder is \\SERVER\\Linux 

The likewise info uses the Windows 95 info forgot official name sorry but it's SERVER0

 

so when the user is logged in it's like this: \SERVER0\test1 

I'm thinking that's the problem but why should that be a problem as that is on the server, and then authentication is happening on the server

 

There is no test1 user on the local machine only on Windows Server

 

Any guidance to fix this would help

 

thanks
