I made a test directory with the same result: members of the sambaaccess group cannot cd into it unless I use newgrp sambaaccess (and even then, it's only for that shell window, not other programs):<br>[root@server1 /]# mkdir /test
<br>[root@server1 /]# chmod 770 /test<br>[root@server1 /]# chgrp sambaaccess /test<br><br>this has got to be something so obvious that I'm going to feel very silly....right?<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/1/06,

Hi all, <br> <p>I've just installed FC5 and am having a play with permissions on a <br> directory that will become a samba share. I want members of the <br> sambaaccess group to have access, but noone else. <br> </p><p>- I created the sambaaccess group.
<br> - I used gpasswd +a [user] [group] to add the users (I had already <br> created with useradd) to the sambaaccess group <br> - I did a chgrp sambaaccess to the directory I'm working with, <br> /sambadirectory <br> - I did chmod 770 /sambadirectory
<br> </p><p>When I log in as a user that is a member of the sambaaccess group I <br> cannot even cd into the directory unless I chmod 775 /sambadirectory.<br> </p><p>What am I doing wrong? <br> </p><p>Thanks, <br> </p><p>
Ari <br>
