Hi, Fallen into that trap again - made a batch file which created about 1300 home directories, individually shared (because of 9x machines which can only map to the root of a share), but now find that nobody can write to their home directory. Is there a way I can change the default share permissions for new shares? That way, I can make a quick batch file to unshare and re- share all the shared folders.
