Like for every user owner is different and group as well..... is that what what the problem i , should i change all the groups and users for all the users to one root root...<BR />What else can be the reason of this not working...<BR />Thanks Thu, 03 Apr 2008 17:17:49 GMT khilari 2008-04-03T17:17:49Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/cifs/m-p/4173555#M321504 Hi Guys, okay so i have successfully mounted the users on cifs, but they still cant do what the need to do onit...<BR />I see one thing though that whenever each user goes into the directory they have a different owner and group..

That is an exploit waiting to happen.<BR /><BR />Perhaps create a group, add all the users to it and give group write permissions to the directory and the files.<BR /><BR />SEP Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:53:26 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/cifs/m-p/4173556#M321505 Steven E.
