   The server is running Linux with a Samba domain server. The clients are   
   running XP. I have all rights I need (have tried server root as well as   
   local administrator accounts). The directories I am talking about are in an   
   NTFS file system, part of the larger SMB file system.   
      
   At least part of my question is which account I should use, that is why I   
   try to find out exactly what is happening behind the screen. It seems that   
   updating itself is permitted (at least, the client accepts it), but it fails   
   when I push "close", when the updated rights presumably are stored, so the   
   problem might be in the storage part. But as long as I do not know where   
   these access rights are being/to be stored, that is mere guesswork.
