Knowing it's NTFS may make a big difference. You have to think how Winders handles access rights. You may have to do it using ACLs. This may be a dumb question: do any ACL tools work with NTFS? Try: apt-get install acl getfacl /home/gean and see what appears. You could try: setfacl -m user:gean:rwx /home/gean setfacl -m group:gean:rwx /home/gean It doesn't change ownership, but it may give you rwx access. Getfacl/setfacl works on EXTn (and maybe ReiserFS); I don't know if it works with NTFS-3G. The ACLs work through samba on Win systems (and even allow Win systems to set access rights via Properties->Secuiryt). If it doesn't work, there may be other tools that work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
