I've been talking to my IT person and doing some more tests. It looks like CVSNT server is only checking the local SAM and not the one on the domain. The machine is a stand alone server, but it's part of a domain. All of our user accounts are on domain and not local account. When we added a local user an that server, then the chown command works for only the user that was created on the local server. We want to pull the info off of the domain. How do we do this? Also, still not clear what the role of the owner field is? Why do I need to set that if chacl can add users?

I don't understand why your saying it's meaningless and a > nonexistent user? Are you using some kind of 3rd party authentication like netware? CVSNT isn't tested with those at all and may not work if they don't integrate with the system in the same way as normal domains or active directory. I really don't see how you can be logging into a PC with a username that doesn't exist in the SAM database. If it was part of a domain it would make sense but it's clearly not as the trace shows. > My admin file had just clehman on one line all by itself. Is this the > correct format? Do I need a project name or DEFAULT in front of the clehman? You don't need to bother with the admin file at all if you're an administrator on the box. It's useful though to add yourself to make sure that it works (since checking for administor on Windows is a bit hit and miss sometimes). Tony
