[mdlug] Questions about samba

[May, Mat]

Before anyone else scratches their head over this one, or thinks to
themselves "that's a basic config," I got it all sorted out.

I added my Windows login name to the /etc/samba/smbusers file in the
"root" user line, than ran the "snmpasswd -a root" command, entered my
new password, restarted the smb service (for good measure) and was able
to copy all of my needed files to the Window server.

Subject: [mdlug] Questions about samba

Hopefully you guys can help me out.  I have a file system on a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux system that I need to copy over to a Windows 2003
server.  I have created a samba share of the directory on the Linux
server and can access it from the Windows server, but because of some of
the file permission on the Linux side I am getting an "access denied"
error.

The permissions on the files in question are -rw------.  Does anyone
know of a switch or anything that I can do from the Windows side to give
me access to copy "root only" file?

Thanks for any help you can give.
