Re^3: Giving a window user permission to a windows folder from linux

I know I can get file permission info via Win32::OLE and WMI (probably can set them, too), but AFAIK that's Windows only. CPAN doesn't seem to have a module doing windows file permissions from non-windows.

The nearest I find is https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_Windows_Profiles#Implementing_roaming_profiles_with_Samba, but that's for a specific environment which is probably different from yours…

yeah but that's running perl on a windows box. I don't want to spiderweb the application. Only other thing I was thinking of is after I create the folder I run a command (cacls it think) on the server to give that new user permission for that folder. Now I need to find a remote way of exec a windows command on the server from the linux box. This is just silly...	[reply]

Although our environments are different (we're more or less windows only), that should not make much of a difference: IME the folder gets created on first (windows) login of the user. Does that not work in your configuration, or do you need the folder beforehand? If the latter, you could try to initiate a "windows" login via rdesktop.	[reply]
