I want to use this folder for sharing files from my windows clients as well as myself. I used chgrp to make the folders owner group everyone. I added the users to this group. I changed the group permissions to rwx with chmod. When I reboot, the subdirectory reverts back to r-x. My group members cannot write to the directory. I'm running Mandrake 9.2. Another problem is when I start Konquerer as a file manager. I enter the root password and tell it to save the password. the next time I start Konquerer I have to enter the root password again. I'm confused, Does anyone have some light to shed on these issues? Thanks in advance.
