Can folder permissions be inherited in FreeBSD? Here is my situation: We have a FreeBSD ftp server. Our clients are given accounts on the box for ftp access and are chrooted using ftpchroot file. The purpose of the ftp accounts is to give our clients access to the latest builds of the software programs that we develop for them. We also have a Windoze server that does automated builds of the software, and can either drop the programs into a local folder, or place them on a mapped network drive. Instead of manually moving the files from the Windoze box via ftp to the home folder of the client on the FreeBSD box, I installed Samba so that the build machine could just drop it's program onto the network share. Since the build machine only works with mapped drives, I thought I would share the /home directory on the FreeBSD box, and just tell the build script to drop customer1.exe into /home/customer1. The problem is permissions. When I map the network drive, I map it using a generic username/password, rather than mapping a separate drive for each client's home folder. In my Samba config, I give access to the /home directory to this user's folder. However, this Samba user cannot write to the individual client's directory within /home. What I want is a way to give this generic user permission to write to each folder within /home. How can I get folder permission inheritance? Please CC me on any response, I get the digest version.
