272767 2004-09-16 02:34:00 Hi, does anyone know how to set permissions to not allow specific users to change any settings or write to the hard drive.

I am wanting to make a Samba PDC with roaming profiles, and want specific users to have specific permissions.

Thanks,
Sparq

Also if it is a share, then under share there is permissions.
does that help?

272771 2004-09-16 02:49:00 Na, it doesn't help. I want permissions to stop the user from changing SETTINGS on the system, e.g. backgrounds, IE settings, and installing/removing programmes. I think I was a little vague in my first post... sorry :-D
