Forum:Samba: password protected shares

Hi everybody,

anybody tried to create pwd protected shares? Actually I created a non root account and changed smb.conf that no guest logins are allowed but the newly user can login with his password. So far, everything went fine, but I was not able to change the owner of the files, chown and chmod did not work for files stored on the device. Anybody discovered something similar or even solution?

Cheers, yoshi :)
 * You're probably trying to take ownership of files that are on an NTFS or FAT32 partition. Those don't have owners.  You'd have to format the 4th partition for EXT3 if you want that capability. --JCoug 16:38, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Have you tried direct usb connection to your pc to change the NTFS Ownership of a folder or file using your Computers OS? Since the partition is NTFS, the OS should allow you to change Ownership. But you would have to connect the SPP HD directly to the PC via USB to do that.
