I recently installed Samba on an IBM AIX 4.3.3 system. I have a group of users that want to open a MS/Access 2000 database concurrently. I have all these users set up in an AIX group and have assigned read/write priviledges to the .mdb file (the database) for this group. The first user to open the database creates a .ldb (lock) file. The file is created with group read priviledge, but not group write. Therefore, all of the other users can only read (not update) the database. Is there a way to tell Samba what AIX permissions to set on files as they are created? I have already tried setting group write priviledges with the 'sticky bit' on the parent directory, no help there. Thanks.
