The clients are FreeBSD , Linux , Windows XP through Samba on the same files . The Windows XP is able to access , use and modify files created or modified by any other operating system user . In contrary , FreeBSD and Linux users are NOT able to such sharing because files are created by another user and access mode settings are not changeable due to owner of files . It is very likely that some settings are missing but I do not know which ones . One remedy is to use NFS server in root logged state and change file modes frequently ( An ordinary user in server is NOT permitted to change modes of files created by other users although exported directories owned by such a user ) . How can I solve the following problem : No any client should be able to change file modes set in server All files created by client should inherit modes set in server directory . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
