Guest Pi-Admin Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 New to Linux I have installed Mandriva Linux LE2005 with KDE as network server for LAN based on Windows98se . Followed instructions by “Illogic-al” - <NT-06: How to set Samba Networking> Have set up two “shared” directories :- Home/fileserver/PiServer & mnt/PIDATA in order to access these directories I need to change permissions (in ROOT) for fileserver and mnt from Forbidden to Can View and Modify Content. Then I have full access to PiServer but PIDATA is not visible. OK for PiServer – but after a short period of time, with or without activity, the permissions reset themselves and access is lost. What am I doing wrong? [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman - welcome aboard :)] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavaeolus Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) this could be related to msec which enforces some rules on file and directory permissions depending on your chosen security level. you could add a user defined entry for your directory with the permissions you need open the Mandriva control center (terminal-like icon with red wrench), under security (there is an icon of a folder with a lock in front) then add a custom rule, ok, after that run msec as root in the terminal now your settings should last sorry, sitting in front of a german-speaking comp at the moment, so I don't have the exact labeling of the icons Edited November 28, 2005 by lavaeolus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
